William Lindsey :toad:"[Anthea Butler] lamented that as a result of the embrace of White Christian Nationalism, 'Christianity has destroyed democracy in America.''You need to understand that this brand of Christian Nationalism does not want a Christian world, nor does it want democracy.

William Lindsey :toad:"The question for Christians, especially white evangelicals, becomes: Why should anyone think you guys are on the level? I mean, just explain that to me. You preach one thing and practice another. That’s weakening Christianity and because Christianity is a load-bearing wall in our democracy, it’s creating a political crisis as well."<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Republicans</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteEvangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteEvangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteChristianNationalism</a> /4

William Lindsey :toad:"You know that famous observation Trump made that his supporters are so loyal that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and they wouldn’t mind? That was at a speech in January of 2016 at Dordt College in Iowa, an evangelical school. He says that in the same speech where a few paragraphs earlier, he says, 'If you vote for me, you will have power.'"~ Jonathan Rauch<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Republicans</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteEvangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteEvangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteChristianNationalism</a> /3<a href="https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/a-revival-of-true-christianity-would" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theunpopulist.net/p/a-revival-of-true-christianity-would</a>

William Lindsey :toad:"Rather than tell themselves a story in which Trump may be a sinner but his goals are those of Jesus, they’ll just alter their value system to align with his; forced to choose between Trump and their lord and savior, they choose Trump."This is why some members of the Black church in the US say that much of white Christianity in the US is heretical.It has departed fundamentally from Jesus and the gospels.<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Republicans</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteEvangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteEvangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteChristianNationalism</a> /2

William Lindsey :toad:"[Elon Musk's statement that 'the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy'] echo[es] what is apparently a growing movement among evangelical Christians to explicitly reject empathy, because caring about the suffering of others might distract you from the more urgent task of accumulating power."~ Paul Waldman<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Republicans</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/evangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#evangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteEvangelicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteEvangelicals</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/WhiteChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WhiteChristianNationalism</a> /1<a href="https://paulwaldman.substack.com/p/conservatives-declare-war-on-empathy" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://paulwaldman.substack.com/p/conservatives-declare-war-on-empathy</a>
