Some drive the point of view that Christians can’t be Democrat or support the Democratic Party.
Because of its stance on abortion and acceptance of alternate structures of marriage and family.
Some claim that their type of government defies the eight commandment.
The redistribution of taxpayer’s money to lift the poor is “stealing”.
It’s revealing, their assessment – when people are poor, it’s their fault.
They’re lazy and undisciplined with bad decision making.
This type of thinking ignores systemic inequities and the negative effects of corporate greed on society.
Often coming from those who are pissed off with the government and establishments.
Critical of America and where she stands.
They regurgitate grievances and complain they’ve been left behind.
Time after time, whatever services Democrats propose, they oppose.
But once a bill is passed and implemented they hold and participate in.
Not relinquishing.
Similarly, they don’t take the time to be well-informed.
They limit their view and only ingest snippets of information.
Lack appreciation for the complexity of situations.
Side with those who provide simplified versions, explanations and solutions.
With all of this, they’re particular about the Bible verses they pick and interpretations they choose.
Alas, America only has two political Parties, so in reality, Christian leaders preach that Christians actually don’t have a choice.
And in times like we are in today, when their Party leaders stray, they ought to follow them anyway.
It’s not surprising then, that today’s Christians display a new, less traditional way.
Void of truth, hope and light.
Belief in the removal of other people’s Rights.
Enforce their religion and faith to earthly laws.
Making claims they’re from God.
Putting more into the ownership and use of guns, than promoting peace, unity and love.
Death to women – keep the non-thriving fetus in the womb.
Females aren’t allowed to fully bloom.
Subdue, and if they’re abused, they have to accept the doom.
Death to children while they’re in school.
Lock the gates for them and school personnel to stay safe.
Ban books, limit what they can say and drain their brain.
Maintain followers in a restricted place.
Some may claim they don’t totally agree.
But still they put those who do, to lead.
Sitting back, doing nothing.
Knowing that with the present set-up, more people will die.
Yet they continue to give lies life.
And that which doesn’t fit what they choose to believe or the narrative that doesn’t fit what they seek – They twist their perceptions and rewrite to their reality.
All must cater to their stereotypes and biases.
Abortion can never be a medical intervention or a life-saving technique.
Ignore the women and their doctors’ testimonies.
Nothing can be done about mass shootings and gun safety.
Continue to favor misinformation from right-wing and their politics.
Which their narrow-minded thinking fits.
All must follow to their boundaries and lines.
Those who don’t, it would be to their demise.
Christianity enforcing God and faith through policy and law.
Freedom, Rights, liberty and justice, only to some.
To right-wing’s choice and satisfaction.
Reflecting their plan of action.
Christians seeking absolute power and control.
So much so they stand firm with an unscrupulous and dangerous man like Trump.
Whose motivation to rule is self-serving and for self-preservation.
There seems to be no care about the other Commandments that they break.
The mountain of sins they accept along the way.
The mess they create to follow a rule that’s man-made.
That you can’t be a Christian and side with the Democratic Party.
That trumps the Commandment of love, apparently.
They drive to get their way, so that Church is not separate from State.
Solitary to the Christian faith.
You must conform to their narrow focus or you don’t belong.
Even more, you’re not welcomed.
Forced to keep who you are and what you think under wraps.
Sin happens only with Democrats, not Republicans.
Courtesy of Christians, who want what they want.
