Look, I'm just gonna say it: all white Evangelical Christian wives are bottle blondes with at least one piece of pink camo in their wardrobes.
And no matter how old they are, they still call their fathers "daddy" and overly criticize their mothers.

This is a good thread. I have similar feelings when I see some of the stuff about billionaire romance that goes around, declaring it dead or shallow or inappropriate for our current political climate.
I totally get not wanting to read rich, white, alphole billionaire heroes. But I have a real issue with the idea that poor and working-class women aren't supposed to fantasize about having a lot of money because *ideological purity*.
We see a lot of people in various privileged positions declaring a trope dead while not thinking past their own experiences on the subject. A black author or reader wants a book about black billionaires in a genre dominated by whiteness? There has to be room.

Yesterday, I saw the best clarification tweet I've ever seen, in which someone said basically, "I'm not trying to build up Person A by tearing down Person B. They're both assholes but Person A is just slightly less of an asshole," and I have been thinking about it ALL NIGHT.
I feel like we sometimes think that if we criticize an author or other creative's behavior in a situation, people assume we're picking a side or declaring undying loyalty.
I've publically criticized authors whose work I like. I've publically defended people I'd love to see get hit by cars. Sometimes, it's the context of the situation and not the people involved that someone is commenting on.

So, I just started watching this show called The Good Witch. And I'm only four episodes in and it's basically your standard Hallmark type thing...but with really interesting Witch representation? How did I find this?
It just struck me that there is rarely a show that's like, super wholesome and positive about characters who are Pagan/Wiccan/Witches, etc. I'm so enjoying it.
The cast could use fewer white people. Like, I'm white and I'm having a hard time keeping all the white people straight, that's how many white people there are.

What the Hell?
(part 1 of 5)

1/ Here comes a 5-part series, triggered by Brian K’s great question, “What the hell has happened to Christianity?”
2/ After today’s introduction will come one on sex, one on money and one on science. Each will argue that recently screwed-up Evangelical teaching prepared church members to fall for Trump’s con. Then I’ll do a concluding piece on hope.
3/ Brian shares that he is Jewish. Yet he knows the New Testament well enough to know that Jesus would never support Trump’s lies and crimes; Jesus would be ministering to the victims of this cruel administration.

Late Imperial Decadence

1/ The sequence went something like this: Caligula, whose real name was Gaius--Caligula was a nickname which meant “tiny boots”, who ruled for five years...
2/ ..followed by Tiberius who ruled for several decades, followed by Nero who ruled for 14 years. Tiberius was emperor when Jesus lived.
3/ Rome ruled the world--from Britain, across Europe, into the Middle East and into North Africa. So these three guys owned much of the Western world.

#Evangelical Women demonize female victims over male perps because they have been trained to view women, unable to, or , punished for consent as the "Bad Girls". When Vashti is demonized for saying no, and Bathsheba is a temptress for being unable to say no. #EmptyThePews [1]
Vashti said no to protect herself. Xerxes wanted to treat her like a piece of meat. She said no. Therefore, according to Christians, she was disobedient. For refusing to be demeaned into an object. #EmptyThePews [2]
Bathsheba would have been terrified to say no to David. Saying no to someone in authority could have resulted in her death. But instead of seeing her as someone a lust-driven king took advantage of, Christians are trained to see her as a vile temptress. #EmptyThePews [3]

You say you are “soul searching,” @jjz1600, but you need to be looking at WHO actually voted in Jones.

(Hint: It wasn’t the WWW.)
I appreciate your responding, and ITA about both/and.

Let me ask you something: How do you understand the turnout by Black Alabamians last night? What is your view on what prompted that level of engagement by Black voters?

(Since you don't know me and don't have context for reading my tone: this is a sincere query. And I am choosing to ask it publicly via quote tweet because this is an important dialogue for many of us on the left, NOT to put you on the spot.)

1/ If your story abt "low black voter turnout" in states like Alabama doesn't include a discussion of laws that typically diminish black turnout in states like Alabama, it is incomplete, and most likely deceptive.
2/ If your story about "the evangelical vote" in states like Alabama doesn't make the distinction between white evangelical/Christian voters and evangelical/Christian voters of color, it is incomplete, and most likely deceptive.
3/ If your story about "middle class" voters doesn't break that group out by race, it is incomplete, and most likely deceptive.
