“As a Christian, I don’t think you can be both MAGA and Christian,” one person wrote in the comments of the video.

Two weeks ago, Jen Hamilton, a nurse with a sizable following on TikTok and Instagram, picked up her Bible and made a video that would quickly go viral.

“Basically, I sat down at my kitchen table and began to read from Matthew 25 while overlaying MAGA policies that directly oppose the character and nature of Jesus’ teachings,” she told HuffPost.

In the comments of the video ― which currently has more than 8.6 million views on TikTok ― many (Christians and atheists alike) applauded Hamilton for using straight Scripture as a way of offering commentary. Others picked a bone with Christians who uncritically support Trump.

    In English, “you” can refer to an individual or a group.

    Apply the group in this context. Each member of a group taking care of their individual mandate of responsibility is collective action.

    So no, to your question, no-one meant that.

      So if this nurse’s Church doesn’t welcome Nazi’s then they’re good and not to be vilified? How do we know that isn’t the case?

          “So if this nurse’s Church doesn’t welcome Nazi’s then they’re good and not to be vilified” is not logical?

          Even if their church doesn’t welcome Nazi’s it’s still logical for them to be vilified?
