No, a great many Trump voters will refuse to live by the liberals rules.

Ipsos are incapable of predicting a national election. Their ability to poll any question or issue is questionable.

Are JWs now considered Christian?

The Christians, I mentioned in my post, were Charismatic Pentecostal Baptists. And some others, I have never got to ask about affiliation. I heard that most Amish are that way too, but they are apparently starting to switch.
I do not know any JW, do they also boycott elections?

Yes,
What I understand is that they take John 18:36 “My kingdom is not of this world” to the extreme.
Voting is somehow wordly and polluting.
Do not ask me more, I cannot understand that at all!

“Who actually supported and voted for Biden/Harris in record numbers in this election cycle…”

I’m not sure but the Tomcat on my knee has a sneaky look about him.

“ It will be even worse in coming years as more and more potential voters realize that the system is rigged, and their votes don’t count.”

That’s me. After this year’s experience, I cancelled my registration and will not vote again until I see that the system has been corrected to stop the criminals. I’m not participating in any more sham elections. Sorry Republicans, hope you enjoy the suck of your voters starting to disappear. Cowardice has a price.

The country is literally going to Hell, and frankly it has to completely collapse to rubble anyway before there will be any chance of restoration in the future.

America’s 1.3 million Jehovah’s Witnesses do not vote, run
for public office, serve in the military, recite the Pledge
of Allegiance, or take “any action to change governments.”

The Witnesses are among the only religious groups that are
explicitly taught to be apolitical.

I learned something! Thanks.
But I know many other Christians who do not vote. Even though I do not think that Pentecostal Church officially asks their members not to vote, a lot of them do not vote due to personal convictions.
In Amish communities, voting is still frowned upon, but apparently some Amish vote, semi secretly. But they are too getting fed up with the liberals and so they are voting more and more. There were even some buggies with Trump flags parading in Lancaster county this year!
First open Amish political action ever!

We need to force the system to change

How do we do this?

I was raised in a Pentecostal Church. But they voted and some held
political offices. All that said they were like the many others in that
they did things that weren’t considered appropriate.

I agree, not all Pentecostals do not vote.

There were many dedicated Christians who did not vote, especially before Roe vs. Wade. They were just out of the world and wanted to be left alone. I understand that.
Since Roe vs Wade, evangelicals started voting a lot more. It was one of the reasons why Republicans suddenly became majority party. The liberals just decided they will Not let them live alone, undisturbed, so they are fighting back.
But old habits die slowly and there are still many of them who still hope they could be left alone.

What little I know about JW, I do not think, they would vote Democrats. I would imagine, after they get really hit by something from the liberals, they will change their position on voting! It may be too late.

I haven’t decided whether to re-register as an independent, or cancel my registration altogether.

It will be one or the other.

As it was, I refused to vote for my “Republican” congressman who had been endorsed by the Brady Bunch gun grabbers and a slew of unions.
