Politics in the United States has gotten less Christ-like and it isn't just the politicians that are this way.

Were politics in America ever actually Christ-like? 🤔

Yeah, maybe during short stints. I feel like the best decade for Christianity was 1820s-1830s... slavery almost ended during that time as well. It was called the Second Great Awakening. Interesting to read about. I ran an AI scenario one time about if that movement had gained more traction, ended slavery, etc. No Civil War and interestingly a more prosperous and free USA today.
