You guys can keep repeating this all you want, but it doesn’t make it true. America was founded as a secular republic, not a Christian nation. The Constitution is pretty clear about that.

To go in there alone, no backup, is bravery approaching madness. Just months ago, we watched live as a sitting MAGA Senator--backed by police--broke the arm of a uniformed Marine who came to protest peacefully. He was white; didn't matter. Truly surprised this woman made it out alive & unbloodied.

The assertion that "powerful cultural institutions" and the Democratic Party "treated more tradition-minded Americans as evil or backward" has become such a cliche in the punditry that people who say this feel no need to offer examples (or a single example) and journalists rarely ask them to do so.
Slade: I’ll be honest with you: Broad swaths of the American electorate, including members of some demographics that were once solid Democratic constituencies, came to feel extraordinarily resentful that both the Democratic Party and a lot of powerful cultural institutions (higher education, the mainstream media) were going all in on a sort of militant identity politics that treated more tradition-minded Americans as evil or backward.

This created a real siege mentality, where people were inclined to throw their lot in with someone whom they perceived as on their side and who said he would fight the forces that were hostile to them.
