re: "‘Nothing Less Than a Civil War’: These White Voters on the Far Right See Doom Without Trump" (The New York Times, December 30, 2019)
The Trumpian "Christians" are really Old Testament commandants in love with the first of those infamous Ten Commandments that dictate absolute intolerance of other views, beliefs, lifestyles and ways of existing as a morally aware person in a liberal democracy.
The example of Christ, in stark contrast, is that followed by evangelicals who oppose immigration restrictions, who accept their LGBTQ friends and family, who accept that people be allowed to make decisions, even bad or foolish ones, about the best way to live their lives under the circumstances in which they find themselves. These real Christians are the compassionate and merciful, who abhor the unChristian acts, attitudes and policies of Trump.
If a democracy is not liberal, then it is not a democracy.
