re: #108 aagcobb

If the Religious Right did leave the GOP over this (and they’re just bluffing, I believe), it could be the first step in the GOP returning to sanity.

Careful what you wish for: I also think it’s mainly/mostly bluff, but while the notion of Mike Huckabee hiving off the Religious Nut Party from the “normal” (scare-quotes deliberate) Republicans, I’m not sure it would be much of a political positive to have a non-trivial segment(s) of the country run by - or, at the very least, influenced by - a Party or faction which would (I’m guessing) either adopt militant Dominionism as a party platform, or front for it in one way or another.

And yeah, I know the common response is that the Dominionists are “just a fringe” or a “crackpot minority”: but that’s been said of a lot of unpleasant movements: ISIS/ISIL is just the most recent example….
