would anyone want to read a "these people are deeply unserious about Christianity" about American political Christians, or do we all know and it's kind of beating a dead horse?
Those who still have the attention span
to read such an article
don't need to read it.
Those who need to read such an article have an attention span of a TikTok or instagram video, and believe that Fox News is news and not propaganda.
Tried to get through to someone who used to be in the LA artsy/burner crowd and went deep red in Arizona.
Can't get through to them without them getting offended when you remark that Idiocracy has become a documentary.

It's not so much an intelligence problem, but a SNDR
[signal to noise and distortion ratio] problem,

The zone is flooded with shit.
The cancel button as knee jerk reflex to context collapse doesn't help, either.
@quinn
The actual problem is described in a German article:

@tatzelbrumm I do actually hate the "Idiocracy" line. We live in the Flynn effect; and ideological opponents are rarely dumb, but sometimes evil. It's better to ask why people aren't paying attention rather than assume they're too deficient to do so. The answers are much more useful.
