But you have to understand the climate here, we've got churches openly advertising for and holding rallies at their churches for MAGA candidates. OK has never separated church and state. I remember the John Birchers holding tent revivals and urging Baptists to run "Catholics, Jews, communists and foreigners" out of town before they could impregnate their mothers, sisters, wives and daughters with "cursed seed". They weren't nearly so kind to minorities.
Most defiantly the precursor to the cult we are all familiar with now.
