The premise is logical, although maybe proving too much. I am having trouble seeing some of the practical application. If this is true, now what?

Thanks for engaging! Here are two relevant applications I’m working on as a follow up. Criticism, questions welcome

Trump's immigration policy

Only real Americans (Christian nationalist leaning) can see the damage of immigration, rent, deficit, etc.

Invent a scriptural basis, layer on interpretations and cherry-pick scripture to make Jesus anti-immigration — "the enemy within."

When you cite the bible and statistics debunking all of this, you're naive or compromised (a pagan or heretic). Corrupted sinful reason can't see clearly as the faithful. Go back to step 1.

Voting Rights Act 2013 Section 5 decision (Secular example)

Only those who can see the country is post-racism can know that this law is unfair

Invent an interpretation of the Constitution that all states must be treated equally, regardless of facts and history

When you counter by saying the Constitution doesn't actually say that, and the real evidence shows racial voter suppression, you're naive or compromised. A heretic, woke etc.

So if it’s either lose the argument or join them.
