re: #22 Dr Lizardo

It’s actually the result of the interweaving of religion with a political ideology. It creates a dangerous fragility, where if the threads are pulled from one end, the whole fabric - politics and religion - starts to unravel entirely.

That is where their minds are right now; challenging the legitimacy of Trumpism is no different than challenging the very legitimacy of their scripture…and having to confront the harsh truth is nothing short of an existential crisis.

Slacktavist has a whole rant about how these people have constructed their political/religious identity in such a flimsy interconnected house of cards that if any one item on their checklist is disproved, it means Jesus doesn’t love you. So they must cling to even the tiniest detail, none of it can be wrong. Ever.
