That’s because conservatives can lie in service to power. They can say literally anything, and their voters will believe it.

For example, this piece running on all FOX local outlets right now, trying to spin up Christians to hate Ukraine.

Russia’s sunken warship may have been carrying piece of ‘True Cross,’ a Christian relic (FOX Los Angeles)

Ummm…the only people who might be torqued about it will be the Russian Orthodox. I really can’t see Catholics or the rest of Orthodoxy getting upset about losing a sliver of the “True Cross”. Not a fan of John Calvin, but he was reputed to have said that there was enough wood from “True Cross” relics in churches and monasteries to fill a ship.
As for Evangelicals, they don’t have any truck with icons and relics because it’s too Catholic. And yes, I know Catholics don’t have icons, but your average Evangelical can’t hardly tell the difference between Eastern Orthodoxy and the Roman Catholic Church so it’s all of a piece to them. There are a lot of Evangelicals who still fervently believe Catholics are going to hell.
