A people who refuse to despise one another are immune to authoritarians because an authoritarian’s power depends on certain groups of people despising other groups of people. This is why there’s so much power in Jesus’ words, “love your enemies.” It is an act of resistance.

1. Tax cuts that almost exclusively go to the rich 2. Spending cuts that cut programs almost exclusively used by the poor 3. Tariffs, which take a bigger share of the paycheck of working and middle class Americans. It adds up to a striking redistribution from poor to rich.

Rev. Benjamin Cremer@brcremer.bsky.social

Whenever a politician claims that God is on their side, all they are doing is reducing God to a mere tool of manipulation in order to get people on their side. It is blasphemy. It is using God’s name in vain. Christians should be the loudest ones opposing such behavior rather than cheering it on.

A patriot "understands that American leadership isn’t about his beefs, his enemies, or his glorification. It’s about affirming American values and uniting the country to serve them. It’s something Donald Trump will never understand."

What a Republican president can do today, a Democratic president can do tomorrow. But Trump’s constitutional theory should be particularly troubling to conservatives, because it undermines foundational principles they have long championed.

Every 100 years, America gets tariff amnesia — and a clown like Trump drags us into another economic mess. But sure, third time’s the charm, right?

History repeating itself. Trump is the new Hitler.

Trump’s perceived strength during the election was the economy—many people (wrongly) saw him as the better candidate on that issue. But now, almost 2.5 months into his presidency, more and more people are realizing he’s been a total disaster for the economy and their finances
