    MAGA: “gotta check the old testament! God always hated those foreign types…”

    Old Testament: “You shall treat the foreigner who journeys with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.” -Leviticus 19:34

    MAGA: “dammit!! Well… Let’s just deprive them of rights until they’re so miserable they just leave?!”

    Old Testament: "You shall have the same rule for the foreigner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.” - Leviticus 24:22

    MAGA: “Wuh?!? huh?!?? Well!! My old pastor said a rule didn’t have full weight unless God said it more than once!!”

    Old Testament: "There shall be just one law for the native and for the foreigner who journeys among you.” - Exodus 12:49

    MAGA: “BUT IT’S NOT THREE TIMES IS IT?? THREE’S A GODLY NUMBER!!”

    Old Testament: “One law and one rule shall be for you and for the foreigner who journeys with you” - Numbers 15:16

    MAGA: “NGGGHHHHH!!! CUT THEM OFF!!”

    Old Testament: "You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your towns. " - Deuteronomy 24:14

    MAGA: “ARGHHHHH!! MAKE IT STOP!!!”

        Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a foreigner (Greek: xenos) and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. - Matthew 25:34-36

        etc

        Supply Side Jesus doesn’t know his own book, to the surprise of absolutely no-one
