re: #167 SanFranciscoZionist

Think of it this way—on the one hand, you have mainstream Christians who go to church, aren’t insane, believe in science, and vote Democrat or Republican depending on their personal background and beliefs, as opposed to the extremely hard-core socon highly politically active minority—and then, somewhere in between, members of the first group who can be convinced that the second is improving America. The numbers favor the first group. The funding, and highly focused political agenda, favors the second.

I think the first group, even if unaware of demographics, senses that this is no longer the white Christian nation they imagined they grew up in decades ago. Hence the over the top backlash we’ve seen over everything from immigration to mosques to a president whose father and name aren’t Christian or white.
