While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

Absolutely.
Not to say that any one individual critique was necessarily invalid, but one way in which I think the “critique” trend in academia and activism has *spectacularly* failed overall is that it’s given many people an inaccurate view of the problems of liberal democracy, with very bad implications.

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
