Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The bargain was extremely fruitful for both sides: a majority of White Christians voted for Trump (again).
48% : Ultimately, as a society, we're in a fraught moment where it's unclear what will happen with Trump taking power.
46% : With his return to the White House, Trump is poised to make White Christianity (better described as White Christian authoritarianism) the de facto official state religion of the country, with all of the power and privilege(s) that comes with it.
45% : That language is needed to explain to the public how public policy and politics can cause direct harm to real people and to their lives and happiness.
43% : "He explains how the Age of Trump and the rise of authoritarian populism and MAGA are also a moral crisis made possible by how the right-wing spent decades capturing and distorting "morality, "God" and "Christianity" to advance its antidemocratic agenda and the culture of cruelty.
40% : "Religious freedom" has been frequently used as an excuse to engage in discrimination -- most recently, for example, against the LGBTQ community.
36% : Trump, in both his public and private life, has repeatedly demonstrated by his behavior and values, that he violates almost every tenet of Christianity (as well as human decency and morality more broadly).
33% : As public policy and other experts have pointed out we can document empirically how Trump's proposed policies will negatively impact the life chances and life outcomes of many millions of people in this country -- and around the world.
32% : How are you processing the existential danger that comes with being a member of a targeted group in the Age of Trump?Trump and the rise of illiberalism, intolerance and all that goes with it, have created a permission structure for cruelty on a massive scale.
28% : In total, Trump appears to worship power and himself instead of God and Jesus Christ.
25% : I am very suspicious of many of my fellow Christians right now, given how many of them evidently support Donald Trump and his authoritarian populist movement.
