For every Dem who believes Trump supporters are dangerous, I promise I believe just as strongly (if not more) that the policies you support are dangerous. But, unlike so many Dems I’ve seen talking abut Trump voters, I don’t “lose all respect” for you for voting for Biden...
I would still welcome you into my home and share a meal with you. I don’t assume you’re a bad parent or that you hate people. I don’t think you should be shunned from society, harassed, or shamed. I think you are wrong, and that your policy positions are seriously harmful...
But I don’t hate you. I don’t think you’re stupid. I just think you’re wrong. And I am wrong a lot too. And, as a Christian, I am in no position to “shun” you, because God in Christ chose not to shun me, even though He had every right to.
And for anyone who thinks: “Well, that’s because Trump is objectively worse, and supporting him is inexcusable!” No, that’s not objectively true at all, and, like I said, I guarantee I believe just as passionately that your allegiances are dangerous and immoral as you do mine.

Hey @ejdickson - Thanks for your email. Happy to be included in your Rolling Stones piece. Quick question: Do you still believe pedophilia is a “sexual orientation” that can be satisfied by child sex dolls? Please let me know by EOD tomorrow. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Considered writing a thoughtful response but decided it’s not worth it. Their “transphobia is a right-wing grift that pays” angle is obvious, and they’d never let go of it, no matter how sincere and convincing my rebuttal was. But, for anyone else:
I’ve been writing and talking about gender ideology since at least 2018. Dedicated a segment of my book to it, which I finished in 2019. Of course, as the movement has picked up momentum and entered into the mainstream, there has been more reason to discuss, analyze, and refute… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Black people should get away from white people, but if white people are in white-only spaces, it’s because they’re white supremacists 😀 Does anyone want to take a guess as to why so many people who posted black squares in 2020 have abandoned their “anti-racist” journey
It’s because it’s a legalistic, unrelenting religion with no redemption or grace, no chance of salvation. The rules aren’t even consistent. People will play along with the “do better” trash for a little while, but eventually the sanctification-without-justification stuff gets old
Why does it take longer than a day to count votes in blue areas? Probably because corrupt people are appointed to run the elections. Look at Harris County, TX - huge county trying to oust the liberal judge largely responsible for the uptick in violent crime. Who was appointed? 1/
His name is Clifford Tatum. He ran elections in DC for years, despite complaints of corruption & that elections under his watch were a “disaster” and like voting “in a third world country.” He also owes over $100k in income tax, so that’s cool. washingtonexaminer.com/dc-elections-c…
So, out of ALL the people who could’ve run the election process in one of the biggest counties in the country, this was the guy who was picked. Apparently no one in Houston, or all of Texas, was available. Only guy they could find was a DC guy with a horrible track record.
A student at an event tonight asked me if I think conservatives should be content with building competing companies & institutions with our values. I said no. I want to build our own and then take theirs. I want us to take over & dominate every single thing the left has ruined.
We’ll know we’re getting there when companies, teachers, journalists, doctors & politicians count the cost of promoting transing the kids and decide it’s way, way too high.
The left will shriek about this, emotionally extorting you into weakness even while they continue to dominate and destroy everything you hold dear. Trust me, the side throwing pro-lifers into prison while inflicting violence with impunity isn’t actually offended by talk of power
There are plenty of practical, scientific, & secular reasons to oppose progressivism, but Christian theology alone is sufficient to combat it. Without Christianity, we have no ultimate “why” to oppose abortion, gender confusion, or state overreach. Here’s what I mean.
I know this is going to be controversial, even (especially?) for many conservatives. Sorry. This is Twitter. You have to endure my takes & I have to endure yours 😜 Anywho -
We can say, scientifically, that a unique human life is formed at conception. This is a fact. But that fact doesn’t tell us why that human is valuable, why she should be protected, and why it’s wrong to kill her.
I’ve spoken at several pregnancy center fundraisers this year, and I always walk away praising God. While it doesn’t make headlines or trend on Twitter, He is doing lifesaving, soul saving work every second of every day through the joyful & unseen obedience of Christians.
Christians are the only group non-Christians feel comfortable chiding for not doing enough, and yet Christians do more than any other group for the most vulnerable. The work people say should be happening for the poor & vulnerable is already happening. Christians are doing it.
“We need to help women before trying to restrict abortion.” Have you checked? Or are you just complaining on Instagram? Get off your couch & go to your local pregnancy center. Chances are they’ve been serving the poor in your community longer than you’ve been alive.
