Evangelicals Are Now Rejecting JESUS as TOO LIBERAL (not a joke! Not The Onion!)
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount and...'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'"
"When the pastor would say, 'I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ' ... The response would be, 'Yes, but that doesn't work anymore.' "When we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, we're in a crisis."

@JohnShirley2023 To be fair, Jesus was indeed hugely liberal (in the meaning of the word "liberal" in US political debate).
Talking about things like being merciful, turning the other cheek, loving your enemies, and all that blabbering about forgiveness. It is clearly left-wing lunacy, all of it.
For right-wing/conservative folks it is therefore logical to reject the teachings of Jesus.
