This is a beautiful statement by James Talarico, a Democratic member of the State Legislature of Texas.
I wish I had the time to transcribe it. The video is on Twitter. It is also here. I hope you can see it.
A brief paraphrase:
Jesus called on us to love our neighbors.
Not just our Christian neighbors.
Not just our straight neighbors.
Not justour male neighbors.
Not just our white neighbors.
Not just our rich neighbors.
All our neighbors.

All the extreme right titles are misleading. Instead, they are the opposite of what they say.
Moms for Liberty does not support liberty.
Teach for America does not teach teachers how to teach or support them.
Make America Great Again, will never make America great. MAGA will turn the United States into a 3rd world theocratic kleptocracy ruled by dictators who make the laws up as they go along. That is not great.
I wonder if anyone has put a list together of all the toxic extreme right’s misleading titles explaining briefly why each one is the opposite of what it’s supposed to mean.
I have wondered the same.
Democrats for Education Reform is a group of hedge funders who want charters, hate unions, love TFA. They are not Democrats and they do not support education reform, just disruption.
I transcribed it:
Christian Nationalism is on the rise. Three years ago, Christian Nationalists stormed the U.S. Capitol, killing police officers while carrying crosses and signs reading, “Jesus Saves.” Two years ago, Christian Nationalists on the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing states like ours to outlaw abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. And as we speak, Christian Nationalist billionaires are attempting to dismantle public education in the state of Texas and therefore dismantle Democracy. Let me be very clear. There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism. It is the worship of power—political power, social power, economic power—in the name of Jesus Christ, and it is a betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus never asked us to kill police officers. Jesus never asked us to ban books, silence teachers, or defund schools. Jesus never asked us to control women’s bodies. Jesus never asked us to establish a Christian theocracy. All he asked is that we love thy [sic; s/b our] neighbor[s]. Not just our Christian neighbors, not just our straight neighbors, not just our male neighbors, not just our white neighbors, not just our rich neighbors. We are called to love all of our neighbors. And that’s just exactly the opposite of what Christian Nationalism does in the world.
Thank you!!
Jesus was always on the side of the poor, sick, weak and maligned. His message was always about love and acceptance.
Christian Nationalists believe Christianity is the one true belief system, and they think they have the right to impose their views on others. They have no problem excluding those that disagree with them or those they deem unworthy. Jesus was extremely tolerant, but Christian Nationalists celebrate exclusion and intolerance. Christian Nationalists appear to believe they possess some type of natural superiority that allows them to pass judgment on others. This sense of entitlement extends into economics and public policy as most of them support unfettered capitalism and no gun control which they strangely define as “freedom.”

If it’s the, core values of all these, religions are to love everybody, then, there should not be, any wars, as we are all, faithful, believers of these, teachings from the book, and yet, look at how messed up this world currently, is…
Most “evangelicals” are non-denominational and get everything they “know” about Christianity and the Bible from “preachers” who have monetary and political motivations and who preach selective biblical quotations that support their political bent. Few evangelicals have ever read the Bible in its entirety, nor have they even read all of each of the Gospels. In a nutshell: They don’t know genuine Christianity.
Here are a few excerpts from the Bible that “evangelical” Trump supporters should read:
MATTHEW 25: 41-46 — Then He will say to those on His left: “Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite Me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.”
Then they will ask Him: “Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help You?”
And He will tell them: “Truly I say to you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these people, you did not do for Me.”
Then they will go away into eternal punishment.
ACTS 2:44-45 — And all those who believed in the teachings of Jesus were together and shared all things in common, selling their properties and possessions and giving the proceeds to anyone in need.
MATTHEW 6:4-8 — And Jesus said: “When you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites who stand and pray in the synagogues and in public so that they are seen by others. Truly, I tell you that they have already received any reward they are going to get for such praying. Instead, when you pray, go into your private room, shut the door, and pray in secret to your Father.”
LEVITICUS 19:33-34 — “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.” [The Bible makes no distinction between “legal” and “illegal” foreigners.]
LUKE 10:27-37 — And Jesus said: “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.” Then he made clear who your neighbor is by telling the Parable of the Good Samaritan: The Jews despised the Samaritans, viewing the Samaritans as traitors to Judaism. Yet, in His parable, Jesus says that the Samaritans are good people, too, and are to be loved in the same way that a Christian loves him/herself.
MATTHEW 7: 21-23 — And Jesus said: “Many of you will say to Me on Judgment Day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name and in Your name drive out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly: ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you evildoers’!”
Well said, Quikwrit.
As could be seen as also a counter-movement to all that is wrong with (so called) Christian Nationalism here is an article from Noema online magazine about the development of citizens councils in Belgium and the EU as a response to AI and how . . .
“. . . democracy has largely given way to ‘infocracy’ as peer-to-peer connectivity ‘redirects the flows of communication. Information is spread without forming a public sphere. It is produced in private spaces and distributed to private spaces. The web does not create a public.’
“The possibility of arriving at a governing consensus through negotiation and compromise is being shattered by a cacophony of niche propagandists egging on their own siloed tribe of the faithful to engage in an endless partisan battle.
“In short, the digital media ecosystem is disempowering the public sphere.”

Considering that “Jesus” is a mythological person constructed out of 2,000 year old Middle Eastern desert tribal myths. . . .
