Have Christian nationalists staged a “soft coup,” with Trump as their figurehead?
* A familiar expression of my Scots grandfather. In American English it means, "Of course not, moron". It seems a little more polite in Scots dialect.
Non-theists, including an ex-bishop of mine, have an inordinate fear of Mike Pence. Those not having any experience with Mid-Western Christianity, such as my ex-bishop and the staff of Salon, have to rely on their bigoted perspective towards those different from them, thus they fill those holes in their knowledge with fearful imagery.
Speaking for Mid-Western Christians, we're here, don't fear; get used to it.
