We’re All Looking for Data That Makes Us Feel Good, but MAGA Wins the Prize

I wouldn’t say that the MAGA folks “live on a different planet,” even metaphorically.  I’d say that they’re desperately looking for data points, regardless of how out-of-date or clearly inapplicable, that confirm their existing political philosophies.

When it comes to Eric Trump, of course, we have rhetoric that passes from this level onto the outrageously stupid.  Is the MAGA extreme right saving God and Christianity in America?

Perhaps one of the reasons that this has such an outrageous ring to it is because it’s categorically false.  The percentage of Americans who identify as Christians, about 90% in 1975, has been declining steadily since.
