Michigan College Hosts Professor Calling for ‘Defending Democracy From Its ********** Enemies’

Muskegon Community College in Michigan recently hosted a professor — a left-leaning ********** ethicist — who calls in his new book for “defending democracy from its ********** enemies.”

In the book, David Gushee, a professor of ********** ethics at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, argues Christians have started taking anti-democratic positions on political matters in the era of former President Donald Trump, the likely *********** nominee for the 2024 presidential election.

Gushee “analyzes how Christians have discarded their commitment to democracy and bought into authoritarianism,” according to an

, Gushee claimed democracy is “losing support” in the U.S., asserting Christians are abandoning the free system of government “entirely,” “motivated by what they would consider to be ********** motivations.”

”My dissertation was on the ***** era and the Holocaust,” he said. “I’m a strong believer in democracy, and I also have a lot of knowledge about what happens when democracy is abandoned, and it’s not good, so I’m very passionate about protecting it.”

The author, who describes himself as **********, said it was the riots in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, that prompted him to write his latest book.

”The book examines right-wing ********** politics focusing on places and times when reactionary Christians, very unhappy with the direction of modern culture, and unsatisfied with the results of the democratic process, tip over into authoritarian politics,” he told The College Fix.

”I henceforth oppose any form of discrimination against you,” he said. “I will seek to stand in solidarity with you who have suffered the lash of countless ********** rejections. I will be your ally in every way I know how to be.”

Nicholas Budimir, a sociology professor at Muskegon Community College, said the event with Gushee, held March 14, was intended to promote civil disagreement and encourage critical thinking among the student body.

”At an institution of higher education,” Budimir

, “we must have these conversations about societal values, how to think, and how to model constructive dialogue between folks with different worldviews.”

The event drew some 125 students and staff and lasted around 40 minutes. Gushee then took questions from the audience after his planned remarks.
