"They have invested too much of themselves and their identity in Trump and what he stands for.
This moment, and what it reveals about American Christianity, will be studied for a long time to come."

"It’s rather remarkable, really, to see tens of millions of Christians validate, to themselves and to one another, a political movement led by a malignant narcissist—who is driven by hate and bent on revenge, who mocks the dead, and who delights in inflicting pain on the powerless. The wreckage to the Christian faith is incalculable, yet most evangelicals will never break with him."

"You're wondering what happened to your Sunday school teacher? What happened to your parents? What happened to your pastor? How are they getting behind this stuff and justifying it in some of the most, frankly, ludicrous ways imaginable?"

"Fox News did this. It is the feeder tube keeping MAGA alive, normalizing cruelty, dehumanization, and lies. Its role in the moral collapse of this country and the erosion of global trust cannot be minimized."

Yesterday Catholic VP Vance defended the use of a five-year old boy in Minnesota as "bait" to entrap his family, and the detainment of that child by ICE.
It has just been announced that Vance has been invited to address the upcoming "March for Life" which purports to be about defending the sanctity of life and has strong support by Catholic and other Christian leaders.

@wdlindsy If there's a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel. it's the notion that this is the death throes of white supremacy. It's festered for centuries in various forms, knowing that its dominance over society was slipping away. But, instead of just dying out, it has to launch one last-ditch, desperate offensive against social progress. It can do a lot of harm, but in the end, it can't win.
@Steve I agree. I've spent my life hoping for this outcome — having come of age in the US South and having seen untold misery created by many of my fellow white citizens, almost all of them Christians, as they did all in their power to resist according rights to people of color. Though they imagine they have brought misery only on those they disdain, they've brought it on their own heads, on all of our heads — and they are unable to see what they've accomplished.
