I think it was a very important interview. "There's nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism" is quite possibly the most effective idea to popularize in national politics. It's self evident to anyone paying attention but that's the thing, many aren't. Democrats should be absolutely hammering this point in an effort to break Trump's hold over cultural Christians but for some reason they have barely even tried that angle.

So many people just go along with what everyone around them is doing but most of them at least want to be good people. A ton of them think Christianity is their path to get there so when they hear that Trump is the Christian candidate that's all it takes. They're not really paying attention to what he's actually doing. If you can drive a wedge between him and that label he's in huge trouble. That's why they're scared of Talarico.

That interview was anything but milquetoast. I think it's a landmark in terms of dealing with the Christian nationalist belief system. I'm atheist but even I can see that dealing with Christians who've been sold on the Christian nationalist agenda can't be done through the lens of non-religious attitudes.
