It seems like the Atlantic learned absolutely nothing from the in-depth publicity it gave to white nationalist trolls. Now it's giving big interviews to Christian nationalist trolls theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
The first sentences of the article demonstrate why it shouldn't have been written. The guy is a dimwitted bloviator whose only pitch is being actively bigoted and naive.
"Exposing him" is shooting fish in a barrel and only promotes him when a big platform does it.

This guy has literally nothing thoughtful to say about anything. But the media are starting to elevate him in a "can you believe this guy" way that helped launch all the other bigots like Ben Shapiro.
Yes, he's a stupid asshole. Don't help him find new fans.

It's very important to examine the systems that promote Christian supremacism but you need to do it by looking at the big picture, not by feeding the trolls and marveling at how puckish they are.
Additionally, the article & interview fail utterly to mention that Metaxas sucker punched a peaceful anti-Trump protester and then cowardly ran away.
This is the essence of who Metaxas is and it wasn't even discussed. religionnews.com/2020/09/01/eri…

Last point: Metaxas is one of many GOP commentators who regularly block & mute critics while constantly whining about being "canceled" as they count their millions.
This total hypocrisy is never called out when they do MSM interviews. It must be if you're going to platform them.
