A bit off-blog for me, but I found this diavlog informative. I generally treat discussions like Anthea Butler’s and Sarah Posner’s like reading a cross between fantasy and sociology , only the religion is more a part of American life and the weirdness at the beginning of the story metastasizes instead of being explained. I share Butler’s view because the MSM has become an easier gig for the “craven”.

But, please listen to the exposition of the entire history of the modern evangelical and pentecostal movements in American politics. I would recommend listening to this in tandem with this excellent primer on modern American conservative politics.
