Ezra Klein's recent podcast episode covers this quite well. https://podcasts.google.com?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vdGhlZXpyYWtsZWluc2hvdw&episode=YjFlYmRiNGEtYTE4Mi0xMWU5LTkzN2ItZWIyNjdiMzU5NjNkpodcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6 … And an essay by Frederick Douglass discussing the monstrosity of southern white Christianity's support of slavery: https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/foreigners/answering-charge-infidelity … i.e. this is nothing new

How ironic given that the modern US evangelical is a descendent of refugees from England

The standard way people refute that is saying that doing good should be an individual choice, not a government choice. (which is obvs nonsense) so, like, there must be a verse somewhere that says "good people do not advocate for the government to do evil."

It always struck me as funny that most conservatives claim to be Christians. Jesus was a radical. He asked his followers to cast away their belongings and serve the poor. He instructed us to beat our swords into plowshares and turn the other cheek.

Verse 40 Matthew 25:35-40 New International Version (NIV) 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Their Bible must be missing a few verses.

Maybe people should pump the brakes a bit on these sanctimonious takes that imply a majority of working class white people are racist scumbags. It's a recipe for the next democratic presidential nominee losing Ohio/Pennsylvania/Michigan/Wisconsin again.
