I see Democrats trying to appeal to empathy. As if there is any.
I don't think it does a whole lot of good unless you want them laughing in your face. MAGA is only sorry for themselves.
Trying to hide the homeless. Sending people who want to work, out of the country. Shitting on climate change in favor of short short-sighted industry goals. Watching Trump get rid of DEI and replacing it not with true meritocracy, but Kim Jong Un type loyalty which includes pardoning criminal insurrectionist by the chief insurrectionist.
etc...

In his NPR interview, Moore suggested that Trump had transformed the political landscape in the U.S. to the point where some Christian conservatives are openly denouncing a central doctrine of their religion as being too "weak" and "liberal" for their liking.
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount, parenthetically, in their preaching—'turn the other cheek'—[and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" Moore said.
"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak," he added. "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis."
Moore went to to say that he did not think it would be possible to "fix" Christianity by "fighting a war for the soul of evangelicalism," urging his concerned brethren to instead fight "small and local" battles like refusing to go along with the current "church culture."
