Could this be related to the fact that they seem to jones for the OT much more than for the NT, and even there, for Paul more than Jesus?

I like cancer research. I like weather service. I like disaster recovery. I like airplanes that don't crash. I like rockets that don’t explode. I like hospitals and colleges and schools that can function.” -- A. R. Moxon #Resist

I like libraries, they like book burning. I like affordable transportation, they like expensive tickets. I like airports to have safety workers, they prefer to gamble with your safety.

I'm sure a lot of people would see this kind of thinking as naive and quixotic. I'm not saying I believe this will happen. What I am saying is that if not easy, it's remarkably simple. Sixteen people. #16People

Regardless of the mechanism, the attitude I mentioned above is the only way we escape these times with a functioning democracy. We can't bully our way out of this, or we're back to 1861 all over again.

I'd bargain that the newly transformed Mitch McConnell might drop that number to twelve. #16People #Resistance

The 262 non-Republicans would almost certainly vote this way as of today. That leaves, by my count, sixteen more people, including three vacant seats up for election very soon. Thirteen Senators alone, then, may be needed to make this possible. #16People #Resistance

He may be immune to prosecution, but the unified action of 278 of our elected representatives remains a legal Constitutional solution to the danger of the current administration. #16People #Resistance

The President is a poster child for a Clear and Present Danger to the Republic. The charges (and many are possible) are almost beside the point. #16People #Resistance

Then we will have to either convince more of our elected representatives likewise or replace them in 2026. We will need the 218 votes in the House to impeach this President yet again, and then we will need the 60 votes in the Senate to convict him finally. #16People #Resistance

It will involve less "I told you so" and more "Welcome." We will all have to change our minds--some, about what the truth and the common good is, others, about faith in the possibility of such change. #16People #Resistance

It will involve the former saying to the latter not "You reap what you sow" but "Thanks for joining us." It will involve a spirit of generosity that worries less about whether their fellow citizens "get what's coming to them" and more about us ALL getting something better. #16People #Resistance

What it will involve, though, is for those who see the need for it to adopt a much more generous and gracious stance towards those who voted for the President than they might otherwise be inclined to. #16People #Resistance
