Agree, it is particularly powerful optics because Christian Nationalists are out here claiming to represent Christianity and trying to turn up some kind of religious war. A visible presence of other Christians and people of other faiths standing up to fascism helps to diffuse the conceit

Pondering James Carville’s observation that Trump “genuinely wants to hurt” America. “If he sees himself going down, he’s going to try to take the whole country with him.“ Trump is not loyal. He ignores our laws & praises dictators/authoritarianism. He & Elon are orchestrating a collapse of the US.

Remember when CPAC did this, and then laughed at the “absurd” comparisons to Nazi iconography that were inevitably made? This is who they really are, and it is who they have been for a while now. It isn’t edgy. It isn’t clever. It isn’t cool.
