The one who is laying it all out, saying very directly and simply exactly what happened, is Maxine Waters: the Presidency in exchange for lifting the sanctions. So of course she is labeled hysterical by the system; it’s part of the game. I love that she refuses to tone it down.

That’s exactly my point. I do not hear her preaching hate in any way. But who she is as a woman, and the passion with which she expresses herself, has many people projecting that onto her. That’s how it feels to me

Tell me one hateful thing she has said.

I just posted a YouTube video of her telling people to harass Trump cabinet members in restaurants, had stations, and at home so they can't sleep. Doesn't sound like a return to love moment to me. Totally inconsistent with your teachings

I do think that’s over the top, definitely. I was lauding her for the clarity about the sanctions. But still, Danny, you call “telling people they’re not welcome” hateful, but you don’t see telling people in your audience to actually beat up protesters, hateful? Really...?

It is like you are two people. One that has very insightful spiritual teachings and the other is a political activist that wants her side to win at all costs. Even if in the process you violate your own teaching.

I certainly do not “want my side to win at all costs.” The very idea is anathema to me. And you didn’t answer my question about telling people at a rally to beat up protestors...

Of course, I do not defend Trump's rhetoric. Your political posts are not filled with the same light that I know is burning in you. We need spiritual leaders like you to raise above the BS and point us to the light. You project fear. These are not desperate and dark times

Was the role of religious leaders in 1930s Germany to NOT point out the danger because that would have been “projecting fear”? To me “rising above the BS and pointing to the light” would have meant sounding the alarm while there was still time. Spirituality isn’t false positivism

This us not like the 30’s. It is not a Bonhiffer moment. The comparisons reveal hysteria rather than pointing to the light. Is it possible that you need to re-evaluate a bit. Many people believe the country is being saved and averting a disaster.

That is your opinion. In my opinion, the rise of extreme right wing nationalism, whenever it occurs and wherever it occurs, Is dangerous. And certainly you realize that Hitler had many, many fans. Popularity is not necessarily a sign of righteousness.
