User:JzG/Republiccan Jesus

Republican Jesus or GOP Jesus is a meme satirising the Republican fusion of socially conservative anti-abortion, anti-gay rights policies with neolibertarian public policy that actively disadvantages ordinary Americans. to produce a Jesus who "loves borders, guns, unborn babies, and economic prosperity and hates homosexuality, taxes, welfare, and universal healthcare", in stark contrast tot he values described in the Gospels. and for whom the ten commandments with their authoritarian "thou shalt not"s take precedence over the beatitudes.

A viral video titled "GOP Jesus", portraying Jesus as if he had adopted Republican policies, It referenced well-known passages including Matthew 25:35-40, satirised as "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink. And behold, now I’m all lazy and entitled. You shouldn’t have done that". In one scene satirising the parable of the good Samaritan, GOP Jesus is approached by a woman asking for healing, and responds: "but who would pay for it?" the woman has no money so GOP Jesus responds "Yes, it’s a sad story, but it does not make me responsible."

It has similarities to the Who Would Jesus Bomb? slogans used during the early 2000s.
