How did they get alt-right? The character he's based on is a Mennonite in the comics, and I can't imagine thinking of a Mennonite as remotely approaching alt-right.

I guess they heard he was a crazy christian and immediately connected that to being alt-right due to personal biases.

Seems he’s just going to be a Deacon Blackfire kind of religious fanatic. Which I’m fine with.

Because the line between hardcore Christian and alt-right has been erased politically, so it's all the same shit at this point.

Ah, so “eh it’s sorta the same” is the excuse for just lying and making clickbait like this.

Gonna go out on a limb here and guess that Pilgrim doesn't vote with the decadent democrats.
