“In their language of warfare spiritual and secular, Trump’s evangelical allies have been playing with a fire that may continue to burn long after they give up this contest…History is a wasteland of religious justifications for political activism, identity, and violence.

Our friend Thomas Lecaque is back on the podcast to talk about his latest article at The Bulwark (you really should subscribe to it) entitled, “Spiritual Warriors on Behalf of Donald Trump:
Putting the recent rhetoric of some of the president’s evangelical supporters in historical context.”
