@SimpleStacker this is something we agree on

And more and more I find both sides of the Christians into partisan politics seeming to think of themselves as politic first. Since the Kirk murder I've been getting both sides. The people appalled by what was doing and those concerned about the politics of those appalled(all my friends are appalled btw).

I'm getting more people concerned about Christian Nationalism. They are Christians. I repeatedly point out that these concerned about it aren't rejecting power. They just don't want that group of Christians to have it. They want the ring of power so they can use it to do "good". Redistributing wealth. Keeping the rich in check. Getting back to science, blah, blah, blah. It is clear as day to me that both sides want power and just disagree about the moral priorities. The left will claim it is dangerous for Christians to have power because of their moral rules. Yet both sides have moral rules they want to force on people.

I think both sides do not recognize how power works and simply want to run over their opponents. I keep gently bringing this up with the more left wing friends of mine. I just get tired of it. I don't like the Republicans for many reasons. The arguments on both sides could be better.

Do you have any advice on getting the non-MAGA Christians that are being manipulated by the left? Its so clear to me what is going on, but I can't force them to see it. One problem is that I don't think these people really understand MAGA Christians, but instead have a cartoon view of them. The reality is that prior to Trump the right had the type of Republicans these people claim to want. The McCain, Romney, even Bush Republicans. I recommend these friends read "Return of the Strong Gods". Only one has so far.
