I hear you. It is a dark but real scenario, all hinging on this election and one man.
One man — President Donald J. Trump.
I pray that he is God’s help for us and our nation, now and years from now.
My big questions are: Who continues his work in the White House? What group of patriots has the numbers, strength and courage to effectively thwart and battle the leftists? Are we working, now, to retake Congress and replace RINOs with patriots?
What are patriot We the People doing besides preaching to our choir?
My read on the key man issue is this:
Every once in a while, nations get into a heap of trouble - usually because their leaders stray from basic values. When you do that, the average person sees it and, even if they don’t voice it or even think about it in these terms, they decide that their country is no longer such a great place, it’s every man for himself, etc. - and then the nation begins to fall apart.
Then, if the nation is a basically decent one, God sends the key person. He (usually, but Maggie Thatcher was such a person in my belief) kicks ass and takes names, restoring pride and greatness to the nation...for a few years. That lesson - that it CAN be done and SHOULD be done - is supposed to be impressed upon the people so that they then select better leaders on their own. If they succeed, the nation has an extended renaissance and becomes even greater than it once was. If not...well, you had your chance and you blew it.
Just my $0.02. Reagan and Trump in my lifetime were such men. They were/are so completely reviled by the Left (which, in my view, is pretty much evil incarnate no matter what country they’re in or what label they attach to themselves - they are collectivists who do not acknowledge individual responsibility, but judge people based on race, religion, economic status, etc., and you’re either in the favored group, or you are an oppressor), and the Left threw EVERYTHING at them - and they not only survived but prospered. You cannot explain that with conventional logic, there’s something else going on there.
