Re: Democrats and Republicans.
The Democratic party is unique, among the two political parties, in that it's members get to decide when laws against immigrants can be called "racist" or not.
I always was taught that the Democratic party (in general) attempts to champion sort of a yin-yang dualistic approach to belief...an inclusiveness as it were. I am more of an exclusivist, though I try not to be judgemental except through my unwavering belief that God is judgemental and uncompromising. My sister and several others are attempting to get me to see shades of gray rather than only black and white. Pray for us.
I am a political moderate. And I don't like the idea of legislating morality.

Conservative Racism and White Privilege
Have you ever heard of the book, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism.? I got it on my audible subscription recently and listened to the book. It is eye opening for people such as myself, but the author seems to make sense and has several salient points. It helps me to understand the social psychosis of white racism.

Re: Evangelical Christians demanding special privileges
I know of some Evangelicals (Trying to figure out if I am one, by definition.. ) that support non-discrimination laws. I fully agree with them. I might point out, however, that it is Christian nationalism that is driving this counter-movement to the ACLU. I also am in favor of the US remaining a secular nation. I believe that we would fail miserably if we decided to become a Theocracy. Human nature and all that, you see.
