"Does anybody remember Jerry Falwell Jr, the high and holy Christian nationalist whose endorsement of Trump in 2016 was pivotal, but who then lost his job in a morass of yacht-based sex and money scandals?
This is a movement that doesn’t just succumb to the occasional grifter, but rather produces them regularly, and then backs the grifter-in-chief all the way to the end of time."

"More than that, as both Orbán and Trump have understood extremely well, religious nationalism offers a permission structure for the worst kinds of corruption, violence, and abuse. If God is on your side and the devil is on the other side, after all, anything goes."
