Writing as a self-declared "Jewish atheist," Paul Waldman says,
"The more radical Republicans get, the more Democrats have an opportunity to persuade the religious people who are growing alienated from the GOP."

@wdlindsy as I said in my other comment, the MAGA fall apart over Epstein, paired with the other shit happening. It makes a void that those of us against Trump and the admin can leverage to continue fighting against him.

"Of course, the administration wants all those who were invited to join the Board of Peace to join, because, again, the Board of Peace is overseeing the reconstruction of a territory that has been plagued with violence, with bloodshed, poverty for far too long. This president has a very bold and ambitious plan and vision to rebuild and reconstruct Gaza, which is well underway, because of the Board of Peace.”

And also what we're dealing with here is a Pope, a Holy Father, who is not complying with the cool kids. And he doesn't want to sit at their table, okay?"

"Donald Trump came to power by successfully joining this so-called 'Christian nationalism' with the reactionary fears of the Tea Party insurgency and the greed of emerging techno-feudalists. The MAGA coalition that made Donald Trump president would never have gained power without the religious nationalist movement that markets the GOP as 'God’s Own Party.'”

"Taking on Trump’s far right base, Talarico rails about the shameful gulf between the teachings of Christ and the suffering Trump is inflicting on the nation and the world.
Talarico notes that MAGA, while hewing to a self-proclaimed Christian identity, doesn’t seem to mind that Trump is building concentration camps to cage people who haven’t committed a crime."

The authors argue that for the past 50 years, a specific political movement has weaponized Christian faith and "traditional values" to reverse civil and human rights gains made in the 20th century. -

"This has become their theology and they're alone in that theology."
Robert P. Jones replies:
"It's really plain that what we're seeing today is a battle for the soul of white Christianity in this country. I can just not say it any plainer than that. It's not actually new, but it has come to a head under Trump. Trump has really brought it back to the fore."

"For the better part of a decade, conservatives lurched from one pedophile-focused moral panic to the next, proclaiming themselves the true saviors of children. They didn’t mean all children, of course; these are the same people who gifted a white woman with $750,000 just for calling a 5-year-old autistic Black boy the n-word."

The moral charade was always going to be undone by the Trump of it all. His supporters are members of a reactionary movement almost singularly animated by racial grievance."
