Glorification of Hoarding and Whoring: Unmistakable “Values” of MAGAts and Faux Democrats (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Much of the pulpit instruction heard by those who’d eventually become MAGAts was loud judgmental, holier-than-thou, hellfire and damnation “preaching.” Preachers, mostly Protestant white men, reveled in their own ignorance.
