My friend Zach is amazing & the replies to this tweet are unhinged. I left the GOP in my twenties—evangelicalism, too—largely because it felt like a movement that would eventually embrace power and money over people. Keep preaching Jesus’ love, Zach. I’m with you on all of this.

Nauseously optimistic.
