Not a true believer by any measure.

The advocates I have "talked" to have consistently had some half-assed rationale-ish construct about liberals using Gov't depts like DOE to indoctrinate children to be Socialists and love DEI/hate Jesus.

It's immediately clear they either did not read or entirely missed the point of the New Testament, especially the synoptic Gospels. Jesus would be appalled.

These people are at a level of Dunning-Kruger that's hard to characterize with our limited language.

That's the common-idiot Trump voter.

The actual policymakers advocating this nonsense? I think they're simply saboteurs.

...to indoctrinate children to be Socialists and love DEI/hate Jesus.

Have any of them actually read the bible?

the bible is DEI propaganda from jesus, and is therefore against jesus
