If only believers followed Jesus as ardently as they follow Trump, wouldn't that be a sigh
Did not the people sing praises to Kind David (1Sa 18:7)? Believe it or not, we can be passionate about our leaders and still be devout followers of Jesus.
Nothing will change the minds of Trump's zealots, because his words are gospel to them. Even if violence must be resorted to, they will fight for their Orange Jesus. Quite predictable, actually. I saw violence coming even before January 6 riot, in an op-ed piece I wrote to the Manchester Union Leader.
There's a lot to unpack in that op-ed piece, but let's just take the insinuation of violence. Trump supporters have not been out rioting in the streets, unlike other groups that have been given a free pass. But let's talk about the J6 riot. There were tens of thousands of people there that day who peacfully attenended. Only a small fraction was involved in the "riot" and none of them were armed. Trump told everyone to go home peacefully, which was conveniently blocked by Twitter.
The Capitol building is secured with maglock doors. No one is getting in unless someone from the inside lets them in. So, who let them in and why? Both Nancy Pelosi and the D.C. mayor both refused Trump's offer to bring in the National Guard. Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund was refused his request to bring in the National Guard. Why? Why was Nancy Pelosi's daughter there that day to document everything? Were they expecting something to happen?
According to Senator Clay Higgins, there were over 200 fed agents embeded in the J6 crowd. How involved were they in the riot? Look at the Whitmer kidnapping case. The feds were actively involved in planning and orchestrating the whole thing to create a false narrative. These are the same feds who suppressed Hunter's laptop and went along with the Russian collusion hoax, knowing it was fake.
Ray Epps was a primary instigator in the crowd and encouraged people to storm the Capitol, yet he faced no jail time. Why? Obviously he's a fed-in informant and is being protected. There are videos of police escorting people into the building, the Q-Shaman guy being one of them. Why would they do this?
I'll tell you what I think is the "why" to all these questions, it's because they wanted something to happen. Several senators, including Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, had plans to contest the election results, which was their Constitional right to do. That conveniently ended when the J6 riot occurred.
And before you think that is some "conspiracy theory", they wanted Trump gone by any means necessary. They impeached him twice, once as a civilian. They used the phony Russian collusion hoax that was funded by Hillary Clinton. Who, by the way, hasn't faced any consquences for what in essence was a soft coup attempt.
You think Trump supporters are all mindless zombies, blinding following Trump. Meanwhile, you accept on blind faith what the media is telling you, what the politicians who hate Trump are telling you, and they narrative they are presenting to you without questioning any of it. And don't even get me started on Covid.
