After reading homophobic comments yesterday, it dawned on me

57. Thank you, Ms. Toad

It is so exhausting to hear how normalized anti-Christian bigotry, based in ignorance, has become in groups which otherwise think of themselves as progressive and educated.

I am not explicitly saying that's an issue here on DU...but anyone who wants to expand the alliance of people who want this country to survive should consider what a choice is put in front of people of faith: faith or politics -- where "politics" is essentially how a society employs organized power to help or harm other people.

Reinforcing this dynamic plays directly into the trap set by Republicans, theocrats, and Christian Dominionists, using their language and categories. It's shoddy and ineffective thinking, and excludes many people who want to help makes things better.
