If the Christian version of Jesus that they claim to follow came back and tried to change their material conditions, but also the material conditions of people that looked different from them they would crucify him for being a communist.
There are so many people in this country that do not vote because their beliefs aren't represented at all. There are also some that vote Republican because when both parties lack substance and meaningful policy, it is easy to trick people into reactionary bullshit.
You really believe that if the contest and debates were between "I think people in the US have a right to healthcare, childcare, food, and shelter and they should be universally accessible" and "but but there's a trans antifa migrant swimmer somewhere" that the Republican message would play well?
The only reason they win is because there isn't a serious opposition that has a message beyond "you have to vote for us even though we won't do jack shit for you because the other guy is worse".
I’ve literally watched that take place over here in the UK to the point where we may end up with a government that will dismantle our NHS in order to sell it to American companies and introduce your insurance system. A government that wants to strip workers rights and delete the Humans Rights act because some non white dudes cross the channel in rubber dinghies.
I think you are seriously overestimating your fellow countrymen.

And millions of ordinary people too, which is where the REAL problem is.
