Christian nationalism has become a driving force in Republican politics and at the highest levels of the Trump administration. Now, a new generation of Democrats, including James Talarico in Texas, are flipping script. They're not avoiding religion, they're using their own faith as a way to reframe progressive values and bring new voters into the fold. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/progressive-christian-democrats-talarico-nationalism
Talarico And Beshear Lead New Faith Forward Democrats

Are the 'What Would Jesus Do?' politics of James Talarico the key to taking MAGA down?

The Big Picture
@georgetakei
George: do you remember the Progressing Christianity of the mid 60s to Mid 70s? Before the 700 Club and Immoral Minority corrupted everything into a Feast of Hypocrisy?
@georgetakei I wish the US would follow Canada's way and remove religion from the equation. Religion and government don't belong together.
@georgetakei
It is worrying that religion is applied in an attempt to remedy the current insanity. We don’t need fables.
@georgetakei I'd rather have no stupid religion anywhere, but in texas, anything's better than the status quo
@georgetakei "What would Jesus do?" is a hypothetical question asked by people who only pretend to follow Jesus; the question Talerico and others who have faith in the living Jesus is, "What does Jesus want me to do, right now?"
@georgetakei I'd rather have politicians who don't "believe" in what amounts to Santa Claus.
@georgetakei
It's dumb to have let Republicans have a monopoly on God.
