"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

Someone from my church said that Latinos "need to be taught a lesson" for voting for Trump (hexbear.net)

I think he was calling for a boycott of Latino-owned businesses, I don't know if there was any more malicious intent with what he said, because I cut him off before he could finish. I said something to the effect of "No, I disagree with everything you're saying. You can't blame all Latinos for something like that. That kind of petty revenge is un-Christian, and it won't fix anything."

This isn't the first time this guy has said some insane liberal bullshit, but it's the first time I've heard him say something actually racist. I thought I could avoid that kind of thing being at a more progressive church, but I guess there's plenty of Blue MAGA types out there.

Presumably the guy saying this was white, whom voted majority for Trump?

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 34 points 6 months ago

Good guess. Someone else reminded him of that fact.

I hate both red and blue MAGA but the blue ones have a smug paternalism that is infuriating
