Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“If I sit next to a madman as he drives a car into a group of innocent bystanders, I can't, as a Christian, simply wait for the catastrophe, then comfort the wounded and bury the dead. I must try to wrestle the steering wheel out of the hands of the driver.”

--Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The name Dietrich Bonhoeffer probably won’t mean much to most people. He opposed Hitler and to make a long story short, he was murdered in a concentration camp by the Nazis.

The vast majority of clergy in Germany supported Adolph Hitler. Dietrich Bonhoeffer didn’t. If you get the chance you should look him up. Truly inspirational, incredible man. The Trump-loving Christian Nationalist MAGA Party members in America are not cut from the same cloth as Dietrich Bonhoeffer or the modern-day Bishop Budde.

He would be their enemy.

Jesus was wrong.

I remember a discussion board comment that I read concerning immigration where the “Christian” said in response to a criticism about the administration’s policies that was stated with scriptural references that “Jesus was wrong.”

“Jesus was wrong.” That’s a truly stunning statement. And that really is a cornerstone belief for the MAGA Christian Nationalist Party. Their excuses for their “Chosen One’s” actions is that God uses seemingly bad people to accomplish his goals. They ignore the part that people chosen for spreading the good news changed their evil ways after they found Jesus.

MAGA Christian Nationalists are now using their amassed fortunes to solidify their power within the government. They are ignoring the one simple fact that dictators like Trump don’t share their power. They eliminate troublesome areas like the Constitution, the free press, critics, intellectuals, protestors, brown people and anyone they perceive as an enemy to their state.

Their MAGA Jesus.

The real Jesus.

If a pastor in this country isn’t preaching a liberal Jesus they aren’t preaching about the real Jesus. The real Jesus did not support or bend a knee to Rome or Caesar. The real Jesus did bend a knee to the poor and the outcasts of society. The real Jesus ministered to immigrants and those in peril. Jesus was a peaceful protestor. Jesus would be a face in the crowd of protests taking place today around the world.

And you’re right, the real Jesus wouldn’t be name-calling like I am. But he did run some people out of the temple.

So there’s that.

Jesus was with the protestors that the First Dictator of the United States cleared out from in front of a church so that he could have a photo op holding a bible in front of a sacred place. Trump’s actions were blasphemous.

The sacred place was the ground where the protestors were standing. Clergy was standing with them. The Caesar that Trump is ran people off from in front of their own church.

The real Jesus wasn’t a constitutional conservative.

Pot meet kettle.

The United States has been and is being called out on the world stage for our systemic racism for all to see. The nations that we have criticized for their treatment of protestors are seeing the videos of how our police state is reacting to our own. Our hypocrisy is being called out in front of the nations of the world. Our thug President is being called out. It’s the same stage where people laughed at him because he really isn’t the stable Genius that he claims he is. They laughed at him because he is a buffoon.

But he’s a dangerous buffoon.

What else does the world see?

The world also sees how this nation regards the poor and people of color. To the Ducé, immigrants are rapists, murders and gang members, filthy people that are coming to take advantage of us. The 1500 felons that violently tried to overthrow our government are heroes to him.

The world sees our nation breaking up families and putting brown people in camps and cages.

The people of the world also see our filthy rich MAGA Party leaders backing the first Dictator of the United States of America that rules by Executive Order. Our first strongman in power that called in troops to keep himself safe in his fortress, deep in his bunker when protestors were in front of the White House.

The world saw armed militias called out by the President to liberate states! Heavily armed white people showed up in our halls of government unchallenged in order to answer the call from their Ducé.

A Ducé that praises dictators that have slaughtered their own people.

What the world doesn’t see is the clergy mixed in with the protestors. The clergy that does preach from the pulpit the liberal Jesus and what the Christian response should be. The general public doesn’t see that either. Unfortunately the clergy that preaches the real Jesus doesn’t have the billions that the MAGA Christian Nationalist have to spend on messaging as they seek to create the nation in their own intolerant image.

MAGA Jesus.
