President Biden on Thursday responded to former President Trump’s Christmas post with a religious message to love your enemies.
Trump’s unusual Christmas message, which he shared on Truth Social, called for various people he sees as “looking to destroy” the nation to “rot in Hell.”
Biden shared an article from The Hill about Trump’s post on X, formerly known as Twitter, and added a message to poke at the former president.
“There’s an expression they say in church sometimes: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you,” the president said.
This is the sort of thing that will be totally lost on the “good Christians” who are voting Trump.
Evangelicals want totalitarianism since condemning others to hell isn’t the marketing pitch they once believed it be
Dude, this is lost on everyone.
People don’t show anyone any respect at all any more. Common courtesy is just gone. ‘Doing the right thing’ is lost because it’s assumed you’re not getting something in return or your efforts are for naught. Everyone is self-absorbed and self-righteous. People preach about “empathy” but only practice it for those they feel sorry for.
I’m not a religious person but treating people like I want to be treated is something I try to do every day. Treating people with kindness, putting out positive energy into the world, makes you a better person. I can’t comprehend the hate that so many people walk around with.
Fascists weren’t beat with brotherly love the first time, and it won’t be how they’re beaten this time either.
That isn’t the kindness for the facists, it’s for those the facists hurt. The kindness offered to facists is correction. Not all correction is gentle.
There’s plenty of sentiment in the bible to the contrary, which is the useful thing about it. It’s so full of gubbins that you can throw it back in its own face no matter what.
It will be worse than lost on them, they’ll figure out a way to use it against him. Maybe it shows weakness or something. I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to turn it around. There are Subreddit full of people working on it.
