I broke with my evangelical family several years before Trump came to power the first time, but it haunts me that the people who brought me up to believe in God could support such a vile and inhuman being like Trump! I know for a fact some of my family voted for Trump. Some voted for him every presidential run. I can't forgive that to have any sort of relationship. Same way with friends and acquaintances--you supported someone who let people die rather than give them vaccinations. You supported someone who allowed police officers defending the capitol to be beaten and disabled. How can you as a supposed "christian" do that?
Worse than all that you voted for this known liar and cheat, who raped a woman in a public place and was found guilty by a jury of his peers, and destroyed countless young girls lives with his sexual assaults and rapes--you voted for him even AFTER all this became common knowledge! You voted for him even though there was compelling evidence to prove Trump did all of this and more--AND after he told you what evil he would do if you gave him a second term. The daily atrocities have destroyed what compassion I had left for them. Jesus may forgive them, but I don't think I can. I don't think I will ever be able to believe in any "christian" religion again either. I'm sorry if that offends anyone--I'm happy for you if you can still have faith. But my "christian" family always pretended to be so righteous! This man has revealed them to be what they really are--liars--no truth in them at all.
I think the maga and republicons are in for a rude awakening. I am always amused at the sucking up to Trump the republicons try to do at any town hall. Cowards! I'm always proud of the people who calmly and relentlessly hammer away at their stupid, ridiculous talking points. Who whittle away at their lies with a precision that gives me goosebumps! I'm proud of the sandwich guy who only had a sandwich to fight back with, and hurled it at the officers. I'm only sorry he got caught! I hope we have elections in 2026. I hope that people fight back with their ballots and Trump is destroyed, (and his minions with him!) But nothing will ever make what has been done in his vile name right. It could be generations before our country can be repaired. Like you I think it must end--and I want to be alive to see it! I'm adding my favorite nightly ritual. I play one of 3 versions of this song, right now this is my favorite! I hope it brings you hope as it does me:
