Jesus when asked why he eats with tax collectors who steal from the poor: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
Progressive "Christians":
The works part about this is that this woman has the most self-righteous, sanctimonious, "not like those icky republican evangelicals" attitude I have ever seen. It's disgusting.
These people claim to be on the side of Jesus, unlike all those Trump supporing evangelicals...
But they can't even have dinner with people who disagree with them. Not only that, but this woman wants to free people from the burden of having to spend time over the holidays with anyone who might vote for Trump.
All while attacking Conservative evangelicals for....
Putting politics above the teaching of Jesus.
Well @mlzcoley, Jesus ate with tax collector whose whole game was to steal from poor people, and he did that so he could love them.
You tell people not to worry about having dinner with family members who vote different.
Just wait until you get to the part of the Bible that says not only do you have to love your family...you have to love your enemies.
Take your hypocrisy and faux righteous indignation about justice back to where you found it.
You are just as polarized, blind, sarcastic, mean spirited, unfair, hypocritical, and unkind as any Trump supporter with an added dose of sanctimony and self-righteousness thrown in.
I apologize for my typo's.

Woke activists demanded @target stop selling Irreversible Damage by @AbigailShrier because it doesn't agree with woke gender ideology.
Target gave in and removed the book.
The activists explicitly said the goal was censorship.
We need to push back NOW.
This is censorship, and we can't let this go. If we allow this to stand it sets a precedent that woke activists get whatever they want just by tweeting. We MUST push back and make this a PR *DISASTER* for @Target
This book @target removed is by @AbigailShrier. Woke activists have tried to censor her before.
When Spotify threatened to strike unless they could censor the @joerogan podcast a couple of months ago, her appearance on his show was the reason why:
1/ -Trump wins the most non-white voters by a Republican since 1960
-A possible Biden win
-11 new Republican WOMEN in congress
If you think any of that ends wokeness let me introduce exhibit A.
Eddie Glaude dresses up racial guilt as humility and pours it on everyone:
2/ The woke are NOT going to stop with the racial gaslighting. If anything, it may receive less media coverage in terms of news stories, but takes like this one claiming Cubans are "white' not hispanic are going to continue.
3/ People like Nikole Hannah Jones still have their positions of power in places like the New York Times. In light of all the Cubans and Venezuelan ex-pats who voted for Trump, they will pump out content that claims people aren't "really" Latino unless they vote the right way:
1/ @roderickgraham claims @HPluckrose and @ConceptualJames" lied and took advantage of an honest process" when they got several papers, which argue for absurd positions, published in respected journals. This is a dishonest redescription of what happened...
3/ scholarship using methods which were not rigorous. They wrote public essays about this long before it was revealed that they had gotten absurd papers into academic journals.
1/ AOC is on the cover of vanity fair and no one says a word
The Girl Scouts made a nice tweet about Amy coney Barret, then got mobbed and had to delete it.
This👏 isn't 👏about 👏free 👏speech
This is about Discourses.
A THREAD🧵
2/ The "discourse" refers to the discussion that occurs around a topic or idea. This includes the words used, how the ideas are conveyed, and the ways in which various points of view gain traction in the conversation and become dominant or become the "default" view.
3/ So included in the idea of "the discourse" are:
1. the words, signs and symbols used in a discourse 2. The ways in which ideas are conveyed and communicated 3. How particular ideas are used in a given discourse 4. The idea that certain views come to dominate the conversation
Most of you have been told postmodernism contradicts other key elements of wokeness like critical race theory, neo-marxism, and standpoint epistemology, which means wokeness can't be postmodern.
This is wrong, and I'll explain why:
A thread🧵
2/ We need to understand the objection before we can show why it is wrong, and show just how completely postmodern wokeness is.
The objection revolves around the idea that postmodernism is relativistic, nihilistic, and skeptical of meta-narratives. This needs unpacking...
3/ A meta-narrative is a theory that tries to give a comprehensive account of how the world works, and how society works and functions, by appealing to universal truth or universal values. So a meta-narrative appeals to absolute truth to try to explain "the arc of history."
