The 36-year-old state representative who built a national profile by fusing progressive politics with unapologetic Christian faith defeated U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett in one of the most closely watched primaries in the country.
His message actively subverts the maga nationalist monopoly on the christian narrative.
He calls them out for what they are (hypocrites) and promotes a more genuine reading of scripture (in which Jesus was a woke socialist agitator with empathy for the marginalized and disenfranchised).
You’re not going to win back the christian vote (a significant bloc) from the far-right if you’re promoting this “christians can’t be leftist” narrative. That plays right into the far-right’s hands.
Also, he refuses AIPAC money so don’t call him a fucking zionist.
He’s literally one of the best things that could happen in Texas politics.
This guy gets it. Also, many liberals are religious and some leftists are. Playing the edgy atheist stereotype only empowers the godless false pharasee evangelicals.
