Don't lose hope. While I cannot speak for 'the masses,' I can speak for myself and those I know who think with a similar libertarian mindset. We are the relatively non-vocal MAJORITY who believe as you do, for the most part. Putting yourself and your beliefs 'out there' is a gutsy move and you did just that. Hang in there. There's many more of us than there are of 'them' on both sides of the authoritarian coin. Your insights are outstanding and refreshing. Press on.
While I would have to disagree with your view of the supreme being, I can relate to the main premise of your substack. The “left” and the “right” are two sides of the authoritarian coin. Both are in it for power and money. Conservative (republican, right, etc…) ideology is antithetical to many of Christ’s teachings. Furthermore, the actions of these Christians are in opposition to the scriptures they claim to believe. These people do more harm than good to the faith they claim. Unfortunately the hate they rage hurts others who actually follow (or attempt to) the teachings of Christ.
I use to identify as a conservative (more fiscal than social). No more. The hate, the authoritarian ideology, the deceit, the destruction of my province and country. It’s as much a “right” as a “left” issue.
As you have found out, both sides rage when their secrets are exposed. Stay strong. We might not always agree but I try to read/listen. Sometimes I even learn something. Lol
I made no mistake and I will not apologize. I can point you to 15 people just this week who have said similar things to what I did with no repercussions, so it was selective at best. And the fact that there was donor pressure (if that's true) is just more indication that it was a RAGINGLY HYPOCRITICAL move.
I didn't even mention jews in my tweet, which means you are replying not even reading what I wrote. Go back and doublecheck - the tweet didn't mention Jews.
So no. I do not apologize. My views have not changed. And if conservatives want to attack people for spiritual beliefs, they deserve to be treated like woke leftist.

I've literally proven that conservatives don't care about real antisemitism based on the evidence in this article.
