From Whitlock, reminded me of the cringe religious stuff kRusty has been posting
President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joseph Biden are not the stars or antagonists in this tale. Their supporters are.
A blind unconditional love of their leader fuels the energy and action of Trump supporters. They risk their health (maskless rallies), reputation (accusations of racism and sexism) and safety (social media and Antifa harassment) to stand with their hero.
"A blind unconditional hatred of President Trump fuels the energy and action of Biden supporters. Their leader's ideas, policies and resume are irrelevant. Biden is a tool to kill the Trump presidency. Nothing more.
I am not arguing that unconditional love of Trump is proper or healthy. I'm arguing that Trump and Biden supporters are tapping into two distinct energy sources.
"As a Christian, I've never questioned the unmatched power of love. It is a strength more potent than hate.
Is that true in today's American society, a culture stripped of its Christian identity and beliefs? In a secular world is hate more powerful than love?
"Maybe I'm making too much of what this election represents, but I don't think I am. I see the power of Trump hate within my own family and circle of friends. Trump hate is a requirement, a dividing issue. Trump hate is a more defining characteristic than love of God."
