Conservatives Christians really think this image of Jesus is about him going into the temple to throw out all the woke they/them liberals using the lord's house to eat avocado toast and complain about climate change or some shit
How conservative christians became the greatest opponent of environmentalism will likely forever remain a mystery for me. If there is one thing worth conserving it would be gods creation surely?

It's only taught in higher ed, so this clearly didn't happen. /s
I hate humans. We're so fucking stupid it hurts.

First of all you don't become a conservative Christian by being willing to read. So lets imagine DeSantis misspoke and said "The only way to ensure that Trump can violate The Constitution and overthrow our democracy is to read the New Testament and understand it"
Here are some probable outcomes:
