This week on the Get More Smarter Podcast, the Colorado Republican Party isn’t just morally bankrupt! No, the Grand Old Party may actually be financially bankrupt as well, and the national party may bankrupt the entire nation! Yay, fiscal responsibility! Yet another fiscally conservative Republican who lit 5 million dollars of his own money on fire in 2022 losing to Michael Bennet may be talked into lighting another pile of his own money on fire in losing to another Colorado Democrat in 2024. Ron DeSantis made a DeSasterous entrance into a now-very-crowded GOP presidential field and seemingly DeStroyed DeServers at Twitter. And we check in on the Denver mayor’s race with just one week to go.
But first, as Christian nationalism goes from a theoretical threat to a really real oh-crap-here-it-is threat, we check in with Rob Boston, senior adviser at Americans United for Separation of Church and State, to see what kinda Constitution these conservatives are reading. Make sure to also sign the pledge to protect the separation of church and state at au.org/pledge.

Jesus loves me this I know, because Mike Lindell tells me so.
A good read in today’s Washington Post:
The revolt of the Christian home-schoolers
and also this from WaPo on the decline in the RR's role in the GOP as MAGA Populism takes hold:
"This non-practicing bloc of the party has grown ever-more powerful — silently driving much of the GOP’s agenda and forcing it to adopt a more populist bent."
Maybe that's the CO-GOP's real problem. Their own Party is leaving them behind, too.
Well, that sucks. We thought the religionists were a PITA, but the MAGAts are worse. A Hobson's choice, if I ever saw one.
I'm about a 20 year member of Americans United. I recommend Rob Boston as a good reference on Christian Nationalism. He is also the editor of AU's monthly Church & State newsletter.
