In between tonight’s Super Bowl ads for cars or candy or beer, pro-Trump evangelicals have decided to push a different type of product —and there's a dark purpose behind it.
To explain why Jesus needed the Madison Avenue treatment, Green cited standard right-wing falsehoods about the government’s supposed persecution of Christians. “Things have gone pretty much south on a daily basis [in the U.S.],” he said. “I can’t even imagine what the government’s asking us to do, and how they’re coming against us, if you want to be a Christian.
That claim of both persecution and superiority lies at the heart of the Christian right’s long campaign to eviscerate church-state separation and expand religious freedom for themselves. But contrary to Green’s comments, they are not victims of an overbearing, all-powerful government. Most prominently, they have a stronghold in the Supreme Court’s conservative majority.
If Jesus got a bad rap while Trump was president, it is no one’s fault but that of the right-wing Christians who could have rejected him but instead venerated him.
