We would certainly see some Republicans line up behind Colorado and Washington State.
Whoever draws the short straw.

Strictly speaking an acronym, I know…
Just to be pedantic, it's actually an initialism as opposed to an acronym which is distinguished by the initial letters being spoken as a word (such as RADAR) rather than articulating each letter. (such as G.F.C. or U.S.A.)
So, yeah nah, at the end of the day it's all good going forward.

And in a perfect world, the people we rely on to tell us what is happening would spent more time reporting what they see and hear, rather than what’s been whispered urgently in their ears.

Mainstream Christian churches around the world have no trouble whatsoever in “disputing” fundamentalist readings of scripture.
Yes, because we are blessed in the West with a prevailingly liberal culture which tolerates dissenting views - such as those expressed by neo-crusaderist-civilizationists. ;)

I trust that clarifies things.
My bad. I should have said feel compelled rather than be compelled.

I recognise the rhetorical trope of singling out a minority as an insidious menace bent on control of society
I think you're over reacting. Personally I find America's (seemingly with the rest of the Western media in tow) systematic demonisation of Iran along with Netanyahu's breast beating to be far more insidious.
