The article I have included shows thousands in Boise for the "no kings' rally.

So I have to ask: What should the Christian response be? To me it certainly is not as House Speaker Johnson declared as un-American. To me all Christians response instead should be one of humility. That the waves of rudeness and pride that promote MAGA or various forms of liberalism should be softened. That compromise and conciliatory actions should flow from both sides. That lawfare should stop and that common sense should prevail.
I will be frank. The overall maga plan is likley to fail. Tariffs are inflationary, job creation is dwindling and maybe going negative, and the preference of the rich over those seeking help with health care or other aids they have had in the past are going to sting. The GOP thought the shutdown would be blamed on dems. Guess what, Trump and the GOP are getting plenty of blame too. Who's winning the blame game over the shutdown? Here's what a new AP-NORC poll shows
The ICE raids and military deployments are over the top and unpopular with a majority. https://www.npr.org/2025/09/27/nx-s1-5553536/npr-ipsos-law-enforcement-poll-national-guard
Ameicans too are increasingly in support of a policy of immigration that does not align itself with Trump. American Support for Legal Immigration Reaches New Heights
The no kings rally is in part because many do believe that Trump is becoming too authoritiarian. Recently a group of former intelligence and security officers used the analytics that they previously used to monitor foriegn governments. Their conclusion when they looked inward at Ameria was that the USA is working towards authoritarian rule. US ‘on a trajectory’ toward authoritarian rule, ex-officials warn
Of course I cite PBS, and former emplyoyees might hold a grudge or are just liberals and can be ignored. The rally though says plenty. Trump needs to become a statesman and work more with the opposition. A democratic America will never become a Christian nationalist nation without the heart and minds of the people. It is not just that politics are failing in the maga era, the church too has failed to win hearts and minds to Jesus. So I do hope we can go back to the gospel and not be boxed into some political scheme that is likely to fall flat at best, and be a total disaster at worst.
Again some will not draw my conclusions. It is great to be optimistic but to what end? I would say that I wish I had your faith, but that is not true. The status quo or even the direction we are heading even if a successful MAGA outcome, is not what America needs. Why? because it is not requiring the humility that can turn a nation to God.
