5. This is absolutely true.

I was driving home from a camping trip in south Texas yesterday, and as I normally do on such long road trips, I explore the lower end of the FM dial. Where I was, it was almost exclusively populated by right-wing Christian stations.

Of course, these stations are staunchly pro-republican, anti-Democrat, blurring the line, if there actually is one, between their Christian "faith" and their political "faith".

Anyway, one of these programs devoted its entire hour broadcast to defending "traditional" marriage and they were convinced that if only Mitt Romney had dedicated himself to it, he would have won. In addition, they truly believe that if the republicans embraced that platform, they would easily take back the White House and the Congress. Bizarre.

(At one point, they brought in some self-identified Millennial who said all they have to do is explain to other Millennials that being against same-sex marriage is not homophobic. I almost died laughing. Of course, he neglected to do any explaining.)
