THREAD. The GOP (supposedly) stands for pro-life, traditional sexuality, &religious liberty. The Democratic Party cares about economic reform, racial justice & immigration reform. I care about all of them. All these I derive from biblical principles.
BUT...1/
Considering that the church doesn't police marriage in the public square, and the GOP has been ineffective on abortion, then that leaves religious liberty as the sole issue that the Trump admin is riding on. 2/
Now, let's grant that Trump's SC appointments have supposedly made good on religious liberty so far. But many conservatives aren't convinced that religious liberty is hinged on the GOP, considering the recent majority opinion rulings. 3/
Now let's do the math: if I care about #blacklives, immigration reform, and economic reform, then that leaves 3 pts for the Democrat Party and (maybe) 1 pt for the Trump admin. Bases on that calculus, whom do you think I'll be *tempted to vote for? 4/
FWIW, I think both parties have major issues, and I'm not convinced that Christians are obligated to choose between such a false binary and betray their conscience. Christians do not need to hang their hat on any one political party (I sure don't). But my point still stands. 5/
