In 2010, Viktor Orbán launched a power grab nearly identical to Trump's. It led to the death of democracy in Hungary. Hungarians I spoke with pleaded with me to learn from their experience — and act before it's too late. www.vox.com/politics/398...

I know many of you think the church shouldn't get mixed up in politics. But these days, being loving is political. Being compassionate is political. Standing with a for the people Jesus loves is political. Respecting the dignity of every human being (one of the baptism vows) is political.

For real. Unfortunately, we’re apparently the smaller third of the nation right now, slightly behind the fanatically deluded third responsible for this mess and the even larger third who couldn’t be bothered to participate.

It is a betrayal. Not just of our allies, partners, neighbors, but of our dearest friends. The emotional weight of this travesty should hit hard.

Educators are teaching in perilous times. We face a white supremacist backlash — funded by billionaires. . . . Billionaires no longer just fund reactionary policies; they are merging corporate power with government repression to cement their dominance. 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/teachin...

Back in August, when @propublica.org and @documented.net obtained these training videos, this is what Leavitt had to say about Trump and Project 2025: “As our campaign leadership and President Trump have repeatedly stated, Agenda 47 is the only official policy agenda from our campaign.”

I just heard from a nonprofit in Massachusetts that helps veterans with transitional housing. Trump's shutdown of gov funding hurts their ability to buy and prepare food for 100+ veterans. Rent is due in 5 days. The loss of funds could mean some veterans face eviction.

This is part of it - another part is understanding that this base has been conditioned by earlier generations of Christians who saw both genocide and Jim Crow/ slavery as acceptable, biblically founded, and part of God’s plan. Especially in the South, where “chivalry” excused violence.

Many Christians (and many associated with other religions) have been trained from birth to accept concepts without evidence. Understanding the psychology behind that is the first step in changing hearts and minds. ⤵️
