Evangelicals struggled to envision a diverse, and some believed degenerate, America as the chosen, godly republic of their imagination.
Hello, I would like someone to help me understand the sentence below.
"Evangelicals struggled to envision a diverse, and some believed degenerate, America as the chosen, godly republic of their imagination."
I think 'diverse' is a adjective for 'America', but don't understand "some believed degenerate" part. How could 2 verbs are positioned in a row?
Thank you
