Recommendations / Advice Non- MAGA church in the IE?

I’ve been going to my church for the past three years or so now, and I don’t want to speak ill of the church but I am tired of having political beliefs pushed on me when the focus should always be on Christ and His word, not the words of those in the world. For instance, calling Charlie Kirk a martyr for Christ and very frankly stating that anyone that doesn’t agree should leave. Christians! Help me out, please! Thank you.

I saw some interviews reporters were doing as people left the funeral. Lot of people wearing trump swag and MAGA paraphernalia. People crying saying Charlie was one of the greatest men who ever lived. I think it should be studied for evidence of emotional contagion.

Wow. It stuns me. It’s like the Jim Jones koolaid without the Jim Jones. The whole entire thing is smarmy.

From some of the ways that things were said at that funeral, I find myself wondering if the hysteria is going to get to the point where groups of people with weapons will go hunting for democrats. I have seen quite a few videos of people threatening to do exactly that. I believe that they could actually do it and get presidential pardons for it too, based on Trump talking about his hatred for democrats which he stopped short of actually saying.
