I've got similar respect for my grandparents who passed in the early 90's. I actually don't know if they were Republicans or Democrats, but the thing that gives me comfort about them in thinking about how'd they'd look at today is that they didn't have hate in their hearts.

I've got similar respect for my grandparents who passed in the early 90's. I actually don't know if they were Republicans or Democrats, but the thing that gives me comfort about them in thinking about how'd they'd look at today is that they didn't have hate in their hearts. I never heard a negative thought from either of them towards anyone. Not even of the casual variety you might expect from people of their generation. By birth and circumstance, odds alone would suggest they'd have some casual racism bleed through from time to time. By fighting in the Pacific you'd think my grandfather might have occasionally had some cross words about the Japanese. And yet, nothing. I chalk it up to being inherently kind people as well as fully accepting the kinder and gentler parts of Christianity.
So if your grandparents were anything like mine, perhaps you can get to the conclusion that I have, that they'd have nothing to do with something as hate and grievance filled as Trumpism.

"as well as fully accepting the kinder and gentler parts of Christianity."
So basically, the stuff Jesus says.
It amazes me how many people can claim to belong to a faith named after the guy while choosing to disregard his basic message.
