When. I spoke up about Trump in 2015-2016, Christians:
· Called the church elders to discipline me
· Did hour long "takedowns" of me on YouTube and podcasts
· Uninvited me from preaching and speaking opportunities
· Posted racist memes
· Accused me of being a heretic...
Christians also:
· Told me Dems were the party of "baby killers"
· "Both sides" me about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
· Labeled me a "Marxist" and "liberal"
· Called me "woke" as a perjorative

And it was way worse for Black women.
The unholy marriage between many Christians and the GOP/Trump trampled and traumatized the Black Christians in their midst. If the insurrection is a wake up call to some Christian Trump supporters, then they must reckon with the carnage they caused.
