I think this is right. Large swathes of people who view themselves as politically 'moderate' have essentially given up on seeing those they disagree with as legitimate actors in public life. That it's starting to include a whole religious group probably isn't that surprising.

@prowesslessness @abiwilks Aaron Bastani I think it's become really apparent to him that after his moment of glee where 'lol I've owned the left', he's realised that to be a special advisor to centrist politicians you'll probably need to be employed by a bunch of Christians.
