I grew up attending a Southern Baptist evangelical church that taught me a clear moral standard: A true Christian should never vote for an immoral man, never support a serial liar, never stand by an unrepentant adulterer, never excuse an unrepentant man found guilty of sexual assault and certainly never vote for a convicted felon.
That is, of course, until they changed their minds and threw their full support behind President Donald Trump.
The same church also taught me not to hate. Yet, as I listened to stories about my grandparents’ generation — the so-called Greatest Generation — I saw how they, overwhelmingly Christian, had no hesitation in opposing, despising, hating and ultimately defeating Hitler. They recognized an existential threat when they saw one.
Today, we need that same moral clarity. Trump and his enablers in Congress are a direct threat to our democracy and economic security. They’re coming for your Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security — all to hand out obscene tax breaks to billionaires and corporate elites. If proposed cuts to Medicaid and Medicare go through, hundreds if not thousands of rural hospitals could face closure. The impact would be devastating.
