#ImWithJoy also. Know what rankles the right wing most about @JoyAnnReid? She outgrew biases she was raised with, by experience and empathy. They can't grasp why progressives don't hate her for changing. Heads up GOPs: liberals believe in positive change. That's why we're Dems.
Watching straight allies in the LGBT marriage equality movement struggle past their own biases helped me address internal racist biases that I thought I didn't have. Growth requires one to accept they are not already flawless. That change is needed. Not just "can," but "should."
Current right-wing-politics-inflected Christianity has two main branches, both deeply opposed to such personal growth and change. "B b but," you say, "isn't it about redemption? And God's love? And all that? Wouldn't that support change?" No, dear, that's Jesus. Not Christianity.
