    The number one issue in this election was the state of democracy. The democrats have used lawfare since 2016. They have been rigging elections since at least 1992 and the data shows it plain as day. The fact is you don't have to agree with a single thing Trump does or says. You just have to believe the the entirety of the ESTABLISHMENT is CORRUPT. Politicians have been playing ping pong with the citizens for years. Trump said he was going to drain the swamp said he was going to cut taxes slim the bloated government. Its not a cult. Its a coalition of people who are getting fed up with the bullshit from the left and the right. Anyone that voted for Biden or Harris is a cultist and a terrorist.

    He hits on the most frustrating part in that the Trump supporters were a basket of non-verbals. When presented with facts they can not verbalize why they are choosing what they choose. And the expressions on their faces lead you to think they are ultimately choosing based off of what someone else has told them is the right choice. They don't really keep track of the facts on their own.

    DJT clearly undermined democracy. See the 14th Amendment, Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

    So...non-white support for Trump (Christian or not) do not matter. Only the white support for Trump matters. Way to minimize people of color who won't stay in the barrio or the projects. It is irrelevant that the Republican Party is 70% white. Besides all that stuff is just a social construct, right? And Democrats never demonize Republicans. Right. You have some sort of bias, I think. Take a page from Voddie Baucham's playbook: Be no more worried about where your whiteness ends and your Christianity begins, than he worries about where his blackness begins and your whiteness begins. It is as fine for you to be a white Christian as it is for him to be a black Christian. Put aside racial gnosticism Dr Jones.

    in the Republican primaries Nikki Haley was a strong, legitimate candidate opposing Trump. In most ways she was the best choice for the party but Trump chose to approach her not on policy, record or even gender. He made the seemingly wild statement that she was excluded from being a legitimate candidate because her parents were born outside of the US. A clear racist argument that on the surface was blatantly laughable but a statement that revealed that Trump very cleverly understands the zenophobic, racist spiritual underpinnings of his support.

    When you talk about the dangers of viewing the world through a lens of political allegiance, do you find a political allegiance skewing the view of those who claim allegiance to an anti-Trump political identity? Do you see dangers there as well when it comes to discernment and critical thinking? I have found that there can be just as strong of an allegiance (if not stronger) to oppositional politics which can cause some serious problems with discernment and engagement with reality.

      Democrats had the first black president. Two terms. Democrats had a woman who is half black as the nominee this time around. Republicans have never nominated a person of color or a woman to run for president. Or vice president. Democrats supported black lives matter. Democrats pushed through the civil rights laws in the 60s. Democrats try to help the black community while Republicans take a dog eat dog, winner take all, sink or swim attitude. Republicans are mostly white and in charge and they want it to stay that way. Easy to see why black people vote blue.

      If you think that education level is directly correlated to wisdom and big-picture understanding, you may be quite disturbed to find out that 1930's Germany was one of the most highly educated nations in the world. Personally, I have found that some of the wisest and most connected to reality people I have interacted with in my lifetime do not have the highest levels of formal education, and some of the most disconnected from reality people I have ever met are in the highest levels of academia. Sure, it's anecdotal, but I would not be surprised if my experience is quite consistent and widespread.
