MAGA Christians Are Victims for a Bad Grade — but Are Cool with Blowing Up Boats | Tim & April
Victimhood is a political strategy, not a spiritual condition.

| |||||||||||||||
Reactionary theology depends on erasing complexity to maintain control.
Academic standards are only threats to those who fear scrutiny.
Power always reveals itself in who is allowed to fail without consequence.
Tim Whitaker and April Ajoy open the door to a larger reckoning, the kind that exposes how binary certainty survives only by denying the world’s actual texture. Once complexity is allowed to exist, rigidity loses its authority, revealing how much energy is spent defending a worldview that collapses under modest intellectual weight. Bad arguments become tools of identity rather than truth, especially when grievance offers a quicker reward than grappling with nuance. What emerges is a clearer picture of how moral absolutism turns incompetence into spectacle, relying on outrage to shield itself from even the most basic expectations of rigor. Every deflection becomes a confession, proving that the point was never principle but permission to dominate. In naming that dynamic, the conversation forces a choice between inherited narratives and honest engagement with reality. That choice is unavoidable for anyone who wants a faith—or a politics—that can survive without distortion.
Tune in to the full episode of The Tim and April Show! Tim Whitaker is the founder of The New Evangelicals, and April Ajoy is the author ofStar Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism And Finding True Faith.
