"MAGA" Mike Johnson thinks his god gave him the gavel

No disagreement with the numbers or the performative nature of much of it; I was mostly reacting to Mike falling so dramatically on the “auditory hallucinations affirming fairly dramatic expansive delusions” side vs. the “is an adherent of a religious tradition that has some curious but largely untestable metaphysical propositions” side of religiosity.

The latter can absolutely be a matter of either factual or epistemological disagreement; but isn’t terribly dramatic as a psychological phenomenon. The former is is where you get into “more DSM than Deuteronomy” territory.
