Eric Metaxas is an extremely wealthy Christian radio host who is plugged into the highest levels of the GOP. He's also a total lunatic who claims that Trump losing was a "Satanic usurpation."
This is a guy being presented as a "respectable Republican."

There's a very common myth (believed by many Democrats even) that QAnon & other conspiracy theories are just "out there" stupid ideas believed by hapless losers.
