Conservative Christians crying because they’re finally being given the same treatment they’ve been giving literally everyone else since always.

I’m a progressive Christian. I grew up southern Baptist and then Pentecostal, all in Texas. I spent most of the first 34 years of my life in Texas except a couple years in Germany when I was too young to remember, and a year in North Dakota in the Air Force. So I’ve been around conservative Christians my entire life, and was basically always at odds with them even when I identified as Republican myself because “that’s what good Texas Christians do”.

I’m seeing an influx of conservative or even straight up MAGA influencers, or even just random people who aren’t famous at all, decrying people for saying that God is punishing Texas, that they deserve it etc. and the thing is I agree with them, especially since kids died I think those sorts of mentalities are twisted and sick. I can’t help but wonder though, where all this moral outrage and righteous anger was at other times.

When your side said that California finally pissed God off too much and that’s why he made the fires, and we shouldn’t help them because it would interfere with God’s clear will.

When your side says they don’t care if women die doing self back alley abortions, because they deserve to die anyway if they’re trying to abort.

When your side said that people who die or are raped journeying to America deserve it and that’s what they get for “not coming the right way”.

When your side called democrats and trans people literal demons, and even sent me detailed messages not only stating that I deserve to be raped, but detailing exactly how they fantasize about it happening, because I’m trans.

When I had to literally flee for my life from my home state of Texas to the greener, safer pastures of Colorado, because of all the hate and all the laws they’re passing or trying to pass in Texas. When my mental health got so bad I developed an actual in depth plan to take my own life for the first time in over a decade and scared myself so bad I knew I needed to leave, and many on your side said it was too bad I got out.

When your side even goes so far as to say the couple who helped me relocate to Colorado, and the church who helped me get settled after I got here and even helped me get my own apartment, deserve to die, all because they wouldn’t turn a blind eye to a woman in clear suffering.

When we have literal churches RIGHT NOW, and not small unknown ones, pleading with the Trump regime, sending him official letters begging him to make being gay or trans a federal crime punishable by death, because that’s what the Bible says we should do “with them”.

When your side traveled from everywhere in the country to go to the literal death site of a 17 year old trans girl in Oregon and leave printed “41%” “jokes” and memes there, mocking the trans suicide rate.

All these people have two things in common. When I go to their profiles, it’s always filled with 2 things: Trump and Bible verses.

So yes, it is sick to say, especially since many children died that Texas deserved what it got, or that God did it to punish them. I just find myself wondering, where was all this outrage when your side was saying the same things and worse, to people suffering just as much horror just because we voted “the wrong way” according to yall.

I can never live in my birth state again. I’d die if I had to and that’s not hyperbole. And it’s directly caused by the “Christian love” so rampant there and in the comments I mentioned. But you don’t care, and you’re not even sorry. Why now do you cry foul, when exactly the same thing that you’ve been doing to all the rest of us is FINALLY being done to you?
