First off, there are a number of people, including my Pastor, who have contributed in depth to this discussion, and so I don’t need to repeat what has already been said. Below are a couple links that I recommend you check out, that will bring in more important theological ground work to what I am about to say. Especially check out my Pastor’s sermon from Sunday.

Let me start off by saying that I did not vote for Trump in 2016 for largely three reasons. First I could not trust him. He was pro-choice in the 90’s, and somehow someway he became pro-life by the time he started running for president? I had no evidence that his conviction was genuine. Secondly, in a lot of ways, Trump was Bill Clinton 2.0. President Clinton started building the wall under his administration, he lowered taxes (granted he had a Republican House and Senate), his foriegn policies had similarities to Trump (at least appeared to at the time), his view on tariffs seemed similar to Trump, and he was riddled with sex scandals…just like Trump. Lastly, I did not think Trump was really going to govern as conservative as he has now proven to govern. I saw no predictability in Trump, and when it comes to debates and social media, he is still unpredictable, but in terms of how he actually governs, I now see that I can hang my hat on some Trumpian predictability. So, I want to give you some, hopefully, compelling reasons, beyond what I have already linked to, on why Christians should be free to vote for Trump. First, Trump has as a track record of appointing conservative justices (even though Gorsuch seems more like a Roberts), lowering taxes (of course more should be done), cutting regulations, standing up for our religious rights (first President to attend the pro-life march), pretty solid foreign affiars policy. Secondly, Trump has picked a lot of much needed fights. The peace treaty between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party should have been broken long ago. That treaty was only allowing the Democrats to gain yards in the match, while Republicans were only losing yardage. For decades the Democrats have been plodding away at biblical marriage, LGBT+++, religious rights, and overall slowly destroying the constitution. The Democrats don’t want peace, they want power and compliance. Lastly, the Democratic Party will take us into full blown moral anarchy with a “power over” government. The Democratic Party will do what they did to Justice Kavanaugh to you, your churches, and anyone Christian who has an ounce of a Christian backbone. The 60 million aborted babies are just the bloody foundation for where they are going, and their satanic lust for raw power will be unleashed if they get full controls of the steering wheel. Now God is in heaven and we are on earth, thank goodness, so their plan will come to nothing if God chooses to intervene in this way, but this is the direction the Democratic Party wants to go. The Democratic Party wants to destroy American history, our form of government, and anything that smells like faithfulness to [...]
