[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the GOP in that chamber know that the speech was all lies. Look at what Jerry Vance and Marco Rubio said about Trump before they decided to sell their souls. These people are the most craven among us. They know that supporting Trump leads to a meteoric rise in power and money. That's all this is. They care about nobody but themselves. [/quote]

Yes we know. What has to stop is the focus on reaffirming what we know to be true to ourselves and other like minded folks. We need to start putting ourselves in the shoes of his supporters, what speaks to them, how to speak to them and approaching our issues that way.  No one is ever going to say they are against government waste, excellent platform, the reality doesn’t seem to matter.  Biden was killing it his last term on almost all fronts, but all he ever spoke about was things most Americans couldn’t relate too, and the Dems allowed the right to dictate the platforms. I’ll never forget the immigrant gas station workers I was speaking to who told me they were voting for Trump. They said they felt he didn’t think they were helpless government moochers and they didn’t want to hear anymore about a few people who didn’t know if they were a man or a woman, they didn’t care what these people were, they just didn’t want to hear about it anymore.  this was their take away from what he was saying. It was profound. These are the folks the Dems need to be able to reach. I don’t understand what they don’t understand about that. [/quote]

And how do you propose democrats teach people who don’t want to be reached?[/quote]

We simply need to teach everybody that trans-rights are human rights and a trans woman is a woman.  Full stop.  So she has every right to play on the girls sports team like any other girl.[/quote]
We need to teach everybody that Jesus is Lord. Full stop. So, accept communion and obey the bible like any other Christian.[/quote]

You think you did something. You probably think you ATE with that comment. But in reality, you proved how pathetic you are as a Christian because a real Christian accepts all people and has love for everyone.

I am able to not agree with a LGBT lifestyle and still recognize them as humans who deserve rights, love, and respect. That's what makes me a good Christian in the eyes of Him. If I had a gay or trans child, I would not agree with their lifestyle choices but I would still love them. I am not going to attend a pride event with them or fly a flag, but I'm also not going to have active hate for them or think they are less deserving of marriage and insurance and job security than those who are straight.

Christians and "Christians" need to realize they are never going to eliminate gay or trans people. Adding all these rules doesn't eliminate them. So a trans woman can't run college track on the women's team. It doesn't erase her as a person. So a trans man with huge muscles and a full beard has to use the women's restroom because of new laws. That doesn't erase him, either. [/quote]

And you think you "ate" with this mess, while still falling far short...

Jesus wouldn't behave in passive-aggressively condescending ways, turning his back to the gay/trans/whoever. Jesus would have been at Pride. Jesus IS at pride. Jesus would have shown up for people, fully, as they are.

You did better than the pp by showing a lack of willingness to deny state-sanctioned rights/rites to gays, but... low bar, friend. Jesus called us to live as He did, and this ain't it. Keep going.[/quote]
