I wasn’t being condescending, just recommending a book about the history behind the modern Republican party. Tracing the history behind how a modern Christian right movement was created should be more than enough evidence about why the two parties being equivalent is false.

idiosyncrasies of republican ideological superstructure.

That’s the entire point of recommending the book, and the term “prefigurative traditionalism” is taken directly from the book I recommended, not my attempt to “sound smart.”
