Yep, just an FYI. Hipster Christian-adjacent candidate, one of the first after that guy who ran against Duncan Hunter. Woohoo!

You've heard of Bushisms.
You've heard of Bidenisms.
You've heard of OCisms.
You've heard of Bransonisms.
But now, get ready for the BRTDism.

It means that while she's not quite a hipster Christian herself (I mean I doubt there's any hipster Christian churches in Brainerd) she has ties to us and a similar style.

She's also quite vocally and openly Christian too: https://sojo.net/articles/their-faith-and-cost-insulin-compel-them-defy-law

Quote
As she deliberated about speaking out and the trouble it would cause her, Nystrom leaned on the lessons of her faith. Raised a Presbyterian in the small Minnesota town of Brainerd, Nystrom accompanied her mother on the congregation’s domestic mission trips. There, she not only heard the biblical mandate to care for her neighbors, she saw the mandate acted on.

“To me, calling out the injustice is an obligation,” she says. “If Jesus was on earth today, what would He be doing? Helping those who need it the most. And our U.S. health care system is failing so many and so miserably that this has become a life or death situation.”

I know you’re joking, but honestly there are worse Minnesota Republicans than Stauber. He’s been a decent Congressman overall.
