There will be a day, when all these #MAGAts, #Israelis and #Russians will be begging for mercy.

And when that day comes, they’ll act like the #nazis did at Nüremburg trials: They’ll ask for our leniency, they’ll say: You’re supposed to be #woke so don’t you see I was just being used by the social structures around me?

And I want you to remember what those trials did: They were hard on them. Because that was the foundation of a new world where acts like that don’t fly.

You’ll need to do that.

"Peace through strength is the gospel of every authoritarian regime. ...

American Christians often like to recall Dietrich Bonhoeffer or Karl Barth as fellow Christians who stood up to the violence of authoritarianism when Hilter was on the rise in Germany."
