The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I find it more amusing that some Christian groups in America have tossed out the teachings of Jesus...

Indeed!
Trumpism, is antithetical to core Christian principles in several key ways:
Love vs. Fear: While Jesus/Christianity emphasizes love for all, including strangers and enemies, Trumpism stokes fear of outsiders and promotes misogyny, xenophobia and hate.
(They're eating the dogs, the people that came in, they're eating the cats!" & "These immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.")

Humility vs. Pride: Christian doctrine emphasizes humility, but Trumpism displays a combative, take whatever you want, me first attitude.
("I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pu$$y. You can do anything.")

Truth vs. Deception: Christianity values truth and honesty, but Trumpism values conspiracy theories, false narratives and outright lies.
(Trump lied over 30,000 times during his 4 year presidency. 79% of Trump's tweets were rated False by Politifact.)

"Love your neighbor as yourself." ~Matthew 22:39

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." ~Luke 6:31

Sorry Jesus, it's not you its them.
