Jesus: "Give everything you don't need to the poor." Republicans: "So, like, everything over $999 billion?"

I don’t suggest trying to explain that women living at or below the poverty line are 5x more likely to request an abortion in their lives, and that if the person’s most driving political issue is abortion, they should probably therefore vote for the party that offers a safety net against poverty.

Or for that matter, if the sanctity of human life is their driving issue, they should vote for whoever opposes the death penalty. Or for whoever promotes access to healthcare which reduces premature death. Or for the party that gives a crap about COVID-19 safety measures.

Definitely don’t remind them that Jesus’ teaching of the Good Samaritan exemplifies that we (1) should be generous to those in need, and (2) shouldn’t demonize foreigners or those of outside cultures.

Definitely don’t point out that Jesus said that he has two main commandments: to love God and to love people (Matthew 22:37), and especially the hungry and thirsty, the stranger or foreigner, the homeless, the sick, or the person in prison. He directed the Christian to treat these people as if they were treating Christ himself (Matthew 25). So whatever this couple do, they should never vote for the party that offers policies that attend to these people’s needs.
