I'm a Christian Pastor. Evangelicals Have to Be Defeated in 2022.

I’ve been a pastor in the church for over two decades, much of that in predominantly white churches in the American South.

I’ve spent countless hours in church staff meetings and men’s Bible studies and youth pastor conferences.

I’ve stayed connected on social media with thousands of people still there in those churches. I read what they share and post and amplify and I know how they think and what they believe.

I need you to understand something and I say it without any hyperbole: white Evangelicals need to be stopped, now.

If the 2022 midterms elections allow Republicans to gain control of Congress, Conservative Christians will decimate this nation, and LGBTQ people, Muslims, women, people of color, and non-Christians will never have equality under the law again. We will all be at their mercy—and they will no longer have use for mercy.

These are some chilling and sobering observations.

This has been going on for decades. Not sure why people have not already twigged to this.

we're going to have a major conflict in this country. I hesitate to say 'civil war' because I don't think it will be a long, drawn-out affair. Of course, when the Civil War started, most people didn't think it would last long either. There are some issues on which neither side will compromise. Somebody will win and somebody will lose. Let's hope we defeat them.

When someone tells me they are evangelical I know immediately they are racists who support TFG.
