A few of you asked what we would do if Biden won, as if the need for our show would be vanquished. The vote tallies, events, and narratives of the last two days show that there is more work to do than ever to analyze, explain, and mobilize against Christian nationalism.

Abortion has been claimed as THE issue for the Religious Right. But it was not thing that began the movement--even if many evangelicals say so. The real issue was the desegregation of public schools. Racism, not care for the unborn.

We talk about this all the time on the show.
1. Oppose candidates of color in any way possible.
2. When they are elected, block and hinder their work at every turn.
3. Then, when asked about racism, use them to explain it's not a problem anymore.
Lindsey Graham says systemic racism isn't an issue in America because Barack Obama and Kamala Harris were elected
