How does Talarico deviate from Jesus’ teachings?

Here's an easy one: Jesus preached voluntary charity. Talarico attempts to use Jesus's teachings to push for involuntary charity via government.
There is no way to honestly extract Jesus's teachings to mean "use the government to do this."
That's without getting into his nonsense about trans people, gay marriage, etc. Those ones should be obvious without needing explanation.

I don't agree with Talarico's views on things that involve sex, and I don't like that he tries to use the Bible to justify him.
But I'm not going to sit here and say that it isn't refreshing to hear at least an alternative to Christian nationalism.
As Tim Keller always said, Christianity doesn't divide neatly over politics.
How do Christians fit into the two party system?
They don't
Is either party Christian?
No
Is it possible that some of Talarico's political views align with Christ's teachings?
Yes

What exactly is it that you think this means?

False.

No
True, but Democrats are fiercely anti-Christian. Nothing they promote is within Biblical teachings.

Yes
That is possible, yes. But they don't.

Oh, silly evangelicals.

Truth is such a tricky thing for those who refuse to accept it.

There are a lot of reasons why we are where we are:
14th Amendment
Social Security
The Great New Deal
The Great Society Programs
Reagan's Amnesty Deal
Open Borders
Academia taken over our kids at an impressionable voting age
China being allowed into the WTO
Social Media
Technology (iPhone)
There are a lot of things that have slowly decayed this country to where it is today.
