The Church Industry Needs An Enemy!

David Archuleta is one of the gentlest souls to ever step onto the American Idol stage. And yet, the comment sections tell a different story. In this video, I’m unpacking something deeper than internet cruelty. I’m talking about the system that taught people to see gay men like David as a threat — not because they are, but because fear is politically useful. As someone who grew up inside Mormonism and later MAGA culture, I know how these narratives are built. I know how movements create “us vs. them.” And I know what it feels like to wake up and realize the enemy you were taught to fear was never the real danger. This isn’t about hating Christians. It’s about understanding how power works. How the Religious Right pivoted from one moral panic to another. And why kindness, authenticity, and joy can feel threatening to movements built on control. David Archuleta isn’t attacking anyone. He’s just living honestly. Maybe that’s the real revolution. Let’s talk about it.
