Dave Black has some very useful comments on political activism, responding to a video by N. T. Wright, which I’ll embed here:
I appreciate this video for several items, but I even more appreciated Dave Black’s comments. I personally am politically active. I always vote. I often advocate for various causes or [...] … could possibly make Donald Trump a “great” candidate for president? It’s one of the worst comments on our political system that anyone even pretends to take him seriously. In a blog on the American Family Association web site, Bryan Fischer has named Jessica Ahlquist, the High School student in Rhode Island who was plaintiff in a case against a prayer banner in her school, to his “American Association of Religious Bigots.” In doing so he calls her a “little atheist bully” and [...] I have previously written about the term “dominionism,” one which I don’t find very helpful as a label for a political position.

I’m linking here to a clarification at The Volokh conspiracy, which I think makes the difference clearer.
