Every day you turn on the news, check out your twitter feed, or talk to your weird republican uncle and think to yourself, why are white evangelicals like this? We thought it was a good question, so we asked Tad Delay, author of the upcoming book Against: What Does the White Evangelical Want? what's going on with evangelicals. Delay gives us a lot of good insight into the interworking of Evangelical logics with his psychoanalytic takes! Intro Music by Amaryah Armstrong Outro Music by theillogicalspoon
