Jesus and the Inconvenience of His Word to American Christians

I'm not a preacher, but if you follow the teachings of Jesus, it was he who said:

Do to others as you would have them do to you.

That's from Luke 6:31, and reading all of Luke 6 isn't a bad way to spend five minutes of your time.

I guess a lot of Christians understand the Golden Rule and practice it in their daily lives. Others, however, especially political Christians (and specifically those promoting Christian Nationalism) seem to ignore the Golden Rule. They don't care about humanitarian issues. They claim they either don't exist, aren't the problem of the United States, or are the fault of the victims. They counter with distractions like, "Why do you care so much about THEM when you should be caring about the REAL people who matter?"

Sorry, but I don't recall Jesus ever dividing people into those who matter more and those who matter less.

Of course, Jesus also said not to judge, right? Well, not exactly. From Matthew 7:1-5

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."

Yes, you should judge. But you judge in a non-hypocritical way. You judge with the right principles in mind. You judge knowing that you are not perfect, that you have your own issues. And perhaps, you should worry more about yourself and your own conduct. Just maybe. 

What would actually make America Great, or the World for that matter? If every individual followed the Golden Rule and wasn't so gung-ho to grab as much power and control as they could so that they can dictate how others behave and act and what they believe.
