What if instead of "MAGA", the motto of was "MJPA" (Make Jesus Proud Again). After all, they act like they are the party of Jesus, right? I've put together a little list of what that would require. I am sure my list is not comprehensive, but here it is:
-Start actually caring for poor people
-Warn against the pursuit of riches and fame
-Treat women with respect
-Treat all people with respect
-Feed the hungry
-Love your neighbor as yourself
-Provide healthcare for all sick people
-Show compassion to the mentally ill
-Promote justice for the disabled
-Care for widows and orphans
-Welcome strangers and foreigners
-Show love and mercy to prostitutes
-Pay workers an honest wage
-Engage in honest and ethical business practices
-Condemn corrupt religious figures who align themselves with politicians
-Stop making hypocritical judgments of others
-Stop throwing stones at those who need mercy
-Embrace diversity and love as core values
-Stop giving to Caesar what is God’s by trying to create a theocracy
-Start giving to Caesar what is Caesar’s by having a just tax code
-Stop making public shows of religiosity to appear righteous
-Speak the truth and never lie
-Get rid of the “moneychangers” who discriminate and take advantage of others
-Give convicted criminals second chances
-Uphold a strict separation of Church and State, affirming Christ’s kingdom is not of this world.

In other words, the Republican party would have to find its lost soul.
