    A large part of the intent of the survey seems to be to tease out some understanding of what people actually mean by the term. Polls have limits and can be bad, but I think this one provides some good insight into how to communicate about these issues, and how worried we ought to be, or not be, about public support for Christian nationalism. I think, in part based on this survey data, that a lot of people are likely to support Christian nationalist candidates, despite not being Christian nationalists themselves, only because they hear the same rhetoric that you and I do, and interpret something very different. I think this is a good indicator that reaching out to educate people about what extremist Christians are really saying could go far to prevent a christofascist regime.
