Imagine for a moment if the president said “Christians are the enemy of the people.” Imagine if he lied and said millions of Christians are voting illegally and “raping women at rates you wouldn’t believe.” Imagine if he banned Christians from serving in the military...
...Imagine if he pressured the NFL to fire Christian players who prayed before the game and at a rally yelled “drag those sons of bitches off the field!” Imagine if he said at a rally, “If you see a Christian, punch him in the face. I’ll pay the medical bills”...
...Imagine if his administration so obviously discriminated against Christians, its new travel restrictions were known as The Christian Ban. Imagine if he said Christians came from “shithole countries”....
...The analogies aren’t perfect, but they remind us that Trump has indeed singled out, demeaned, and marginalized whole groups of people based on race, religion, vocation, etc and if you would be horrified if you were among them, you should be horrified now...
“So in everything, do to others as you would want them to do to you. This sums up all of Scripture.” - Jesus
(Obviously many people in these groups are also Christians. They've been singled out for something else about their identity - their race, country of origin, gender identity, etc. Replacing those categories with "Christian" is jarring because it applies to so many of us.)
