I've been thinking a lot about the Cricket story and I think we dare not underestimate her intent to rile her enemies and garner more loyalty among her followers from the public disdain. Intimately bound up with her story is the notion of sacrifice in Christian nationalism. Her anecdote demonstrates she is a Christian warrior willing to make the hard sacrifices. God commanded Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, Jesus sacrificed his own life, and Kristi Noem sacrificed a dog possessed by the devil. I'd say she knew exactly how it would play and got her the media attention that the book itself would fail to do.

It’s never too late to realize that love and kindness is a better path for humanity. Yes, thank you Garrett.
