The difference between our two approaches could not be more evident.
You like to characterize all Christians by the poor actions of individual isolated Christians over the centuries. This is definitely a troubling liberal tendency. You have demeaned all evangelicals simply because they have supported Trump, who has been vilified for years in the worst possible way. Any citizen or politician who has ever supported Trump, like Senator McConnell, is also caricatured in the worst possible way.
I, however, have no issue with being described as an evangelical or conservative. That doesn't mean that I support every single teaching or policy, but close enough for having a conversation. It's no secret that I subscribe to conservative sites like Federalist, Am. Spectator, Am. Thinker, Breitbart, Atkisson, or Citizen Free Press. I quote from them.
You, however, quote from the British tabloid Daily Mail, and have mentioned how much you like them. Like much of MSM, those who subscribe to these sites consider themselves liberals. I don't see why you would resist such a label for communication purposes, since you have never, at least to my recollection, supported a conservative, a conservative policy, or a conservative news site.
So, on the one hand, you resist labels or boxes, yet your views check off all of the liberal descriptors of the Left. Then, on the other hand, you willingly ascribe the worst of the so called "Alt-Right" on every evangelical and conservative. I don't mind labels if they fit. But I do protest characterizations of criminal actions on all. That would be like me accusing you of all the violent actions of Antifa and Occupy, though I would prefer that you not be silent on their violent ways.
Why is it that the Left never disowns their violence like campus protests against all conservatives, yet all conservatives, including Trump repeatedly, reject any and all association with KKK supremacists? Read the transcripts. Trump said there are "
good people on both sides" of the confederate monument debate.
Almost a half century of pro-life anti-Roe peaceful protests have never had an incident. That is why the Left had to manufacture one using that Covington Catholic student.
