If antidisestablishmentarianism means being opposed to the separation of church and state then antiantidisestablishmentarianism must logically mean favoring the separation of church which is what I am for. Not only that I just invented a new word and a long one at that. Maybe some day I'll be famous!

Why not just "disestablishmentarianism"?

Well, I was trying to be funny. Maybe it was a lame joke.

Actually, support of separation would be disestablishmentarian, as per the traditional wording. Opposition to the opponents of the movement to separate church and state would be anti-anti, strictly speaking.

Which would mean there is a difference between the two, which would meant that creating a new word is actually not totally pointless after all.
