first the external threat is sort of the same as it was 50 years ago when jerry falwell sr.ngelist crusades and a lot of this talk around you know, the schools being corrupted and indoctrinating children. obviously, all that's old is new again. that is the same rhetoric we hear today. you hear about the government coming for the churches, which by the way during covid-19 when blue state governors were issuing shutdown orders, that was like a prophecy being fulfilled for a lot of these folks saying see, we told you, we've been telling you for decades this was happening. i also think, though, we have to appreciate the internal threat or the perceived internal threat. and what i mean by that is you might ask the question why is it that when donald trump rips mike pence in front of an audience of thousands of evangelical christians that they're going wild cheering trump and jeering, booing mike pence? i thought these were mike pence's people. the internal threat now, and you hear this from evangelical figureheads around the country who are happening into this, this grievance and
