Christian Nationalists don't believe Christianity.
The question to Karoline Leavitt is:
"As a Christian, are you ok with the president saying 'Quiet Piggy' to a woman? Yes or no."
This isn't hard.

"Christian Nationalists" don't believe Christianity.
OPINION: Whatever one thinks of “Judeo-Christian” as an intellectual construct, its rejection by Christian nationalists is evidence enough of its efficacy as a barrier to Jew-hatred.

On the right, Judeo-Christian values are out and Christian nationalism is in
(RNS) — As someone who has been studying the use of ‘Judeo-Christian’ in American public discourse for over 40 years, I can say with confidence its usage has come full circle.

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Researching and hunting down music is a hobby. Listening to music is a separate hobby.
We are not meant to simply have new knowledge handed to us. The quest builds appreciation and perspective. Look at how Spotify has aided in seeing music as “content” to be sold rather than art to be appreciated.

I keep thinking the *process* of researching is as important as what you discover.
It forces you to consider what impacts and relates to what you are looking for and the context of what you find impacts its meaning.
