Media Matters has the transcript: CARL HIGBIE (HOST): There’s some major updates on the efforts to Islam-ify America — actually, stopping it. Great state of Connecticut, this is just insane…
I find it to be worse than sports teams. But it’s just my experience so who knows. Let’s say you’re an NFL fan and your team is the Tennessee Titans. Die hard fans will rant about how shit the quarter back is. They’ll say the owner/coaches needs to be fired or replaced, if a player is caught doing drugs or not showing up to training camp, drops a catch, misses tackles, gets self absorbed they want his ass gone. MAGA has gone back and forth on supporting Ukraine, back and forth on starting new wars, fumbled balls gotten caught with drugs, etc. but at the end of the day we don’t hear their supporters yelling Hegseth and Rubio and Trump and whomever need to be fired. It really goes to show they arent supporting “team” U.S. or Team Republican, they are just and only Team Trump no matter if it hurts the U.S./Republicans/Conservatives/ etc
Oh, for sure it’s worse than sports fandom. I was trying to express more that they have a lot of energy they are directing towards religion that has commonalities with “my blue team good, your res team bad” mentality. Energy which might be less toxic if redirected away from religion to sports.
Then again, I have been in a public space when some dingbat randomly yelled out “Roll Tide”. We weren’t in Alabama.

Happens all the time in the southeast U.S. especially the panhandle of Florida, aka Lower Alabama
