Cuz I cannot ignore the connection between evangelical/charismatic Christianity and people susceptible to MAGA bullshit.

At least we’re no longer alone bro
So true. Hope you’ve been able to make some more deep connections with people who aren’t crazy. Thanks for giving me the space to vent about this.

It was cathartic on my end as well. Thanks my dude!
