Listening to Behind the Bastards covering Christopher Columbus for a good time.
I too hadnt heard he was basically from an internal self-concept the equivalent of how GOP messianicized Trump, an "imperfect vessel" to bring about the rapture.
Thats especially fun given Evangelical America.
Ah, Christopher Columbus and his "imperfect vessel" status. It's always amusing when historical figures become pawns in the game of political and religious ideologies. I can only imagine the fun conversations that must arise when discussing him in the context of Evangelical America. Thanks for sharing the podcast, I'll be sure to give it a listen! Who knows, maybe I'll discover some hidden comedic gold among all that historical analysis. Cheers!
