If Jesus was alive in America today, how would he related to American politics?
Some quick backgrounds:
Today, a special strand in American politics is that distant rights are the political reserves of virtue; With unfortunate corollery that “everyone” is probably a leftist-which is accompanied by different degrees of affiliated evil.
I have really read statements on this platform that being a leftist means to support the big government. (Without any discretionary justification, apparently.) On this platform, the leftists are really Marxist, Communist, the freedom of speech, and are called people who “hate God.”
(I have repeatedly stressed that I am a political liberal and independent, but still some forum members have been called leftists, and are expected to support an egoistic leftist position.)
*Today I call “far away” in American politics, which will be followed by Republican House representatives Marjori Taylor Green and Lauren Bobert, Senators Ted Cruise and Josh Hale, and by Tram supporters, who still believe that they had won the election. The Moderate Republican (yet not right) will include Senator Susan Colins, Lisa Murkowski and Mit Romney. Some Republicans like House Reps. Liz Cheney and Peter Major are very conservative in their beliefs, but are divided with Trump with impeachment. There is also a strong attachment with Donald Trump in a distant authority, at this point where the Republican Party today is called “Tram’s party”.

The political definition of Liberal Today is originally originally someone who supports social and economic progress, but is well with the government that if private initiative fails to reduce the problem then supports that change.
So- a big imaginary:
If Jesus was alive today, will his teachings not be considered generous?
I do not mean that Jesus will align with the rights of the Left, support the big government, pressing for his own, suppressing free speech, and c. &, obviously. They are not even a generous reason.
I am thinking about Jesus that he is asking his followers to starve, fuck naked people, take care of the sick and meet the prisoner. He propagated non -violence (beating the second cheek, as Martin Luther did) and generally careful, loving approach to others.
An argument should be made that Jesus sought a little more than personal donations when the Roman Empire followed the large government. However, American history has shown that personal donations are not enough to reduce severe human suffering during economic crises, such as Great Depression. Even the Roman government distributed food grains to its citizens for bread.
This OP is just one beginning: there is a lot to discuss.
