The purpose of this article is not to mock, ridicule, or insult. Nor am I here to gloat or say, “I told you so.” Instead, I want to make a simple, two-fold appeal: First, can we be realistic and recognize that Trump will not be restored to the White House by some kind of military act or miraculous event (other than simply running again in 2024)? Second, can we be mature enough to acknowledge our errors, learn from our mistakes, and move on? In short, can we make this a teachable moment?
When I announced on the radio on January 6th that Trump would not be returning to the White House (meaning, without being reelected in the future), the response from many was outrage. I was a traitor. I had given up the cause. I was like one of the ten Israelite spies who brought back an evil report (in contrast with Joshua and Caleb, who believed in God's report). I was a Never Trumper. I was bought out by the Deep State. I was a Communist infiltrator.
You get the drift.
The truth be told, as a Trump voter in 2016 and 2020, I was privately hoping that the prophecies of his restoration to the White House were true and that the courts would find massive voter fraud, overturning the elections.
But at a prayer retreat in Texas in early December, it became totally clear to me that this would not happen. I simply knew that I knew that this was the case, and I knew Joe Biden would be inaugurated on January 20th.
After that, I was simply waiting for the right moment on my radio show to share this publicly, wanting to extend a safety net to the many whose faith would be shattered when Biden, rather than Trump, was installed as president.
Unfortunately, even after January 20th, many remained in denial.
Some set new dates (after guaranteeing that Biden would never serve as our president). "You watch and see what will happen in March. Make that April. Actually, August. I mean September."
Others concocted convoluted, hyper-spiritual theories, allegedly received by divine revelation. "Actually, Trump is our president, enthroned by God in heaven. Biden has no real presidential authority."
Still, others said, "The prophets were right and Trump did win the election. That's why we need to continue to fight for him to be reinstated. We can never accept the steal, and Biden will never be our president."
The fact is that, whether there was fraud or not, Joe Biden is our president, as recognized by our Congress and courts.
As for Trump, he is not our president, and he is not going to be miraculously restored to the White House any time soon. (Again, this is apart from him potentially running in 2024.)
Can we finally admit that this is the case and move on? Or will we be setting dates for the military to remove Biden in 2022 (or 2023), in keeping with yet another conspiratorial fantasy? I certainly hope we will not.
All of us can mistakes. All of us can be wrong about our prognostications. All of us can misjudge a situation. And all of us can have faulty "sources" that, in the end, mislead us rather than inform us. And sometimes, to be brutally honest, we just get conned.
The problem is when we can't admit that and learn from our mistakes. The problem is when, as leaders in particular, we cannot acknowledge that our errors have led others into error. The problem is when we blameshift or even misdirect, being more concerned with rallying our base rather than admitting our guilt.
In this regard, a typical tactic would be to attack the messenger, in this case, accusing me of being weak. Or a RINO (I'm actually a registered Independent who votes Republican, based on conservative principles rather than party affiliation). Or approving of abortion (as if recognizing Biden as president makes me guilty of shedding innocent blood). Or lacking in faith. Or being unspiritual. Or whatever.
But that's the least of my concerns. In fact, it is not my concern at all, since I'm not writing this to gain popularity or support.
To the contrary, as the risk of alienating some readers, my only concern is that those who were deceived or misled or misinformed would come to grips with reality, learn from their mistakes, and come out as better men and women for it. As for those leaders who misled or misinformed others, now would be a good time to say, "It looks like I was wrong, and I apologize for speaking falsely and getting your hopes up for nothing. I intend to learn from this and not repeat such errors."
And how will the Lord respond? As the Word says, He opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.
So, where the shoe fits, get low and receive grace. God also lifts up the humble.
Oh, I know a lot of people who believed the prophecies...
LOL, did you know any of them outside of an Internet forum?
Yep.
At rallies up and down California.
Some are friends I’ve known for 30 years and very successful in their businesses.
I have no idea how otherwise smart people believe this...
There are still people trying to sell this “hope”.
My wife loves to watch this guy’s podcast channel on the internet called “And we Know”.
He was preaching all of this crap. He is really just selling “hope” and prepping supplies. I came home a few months ago and found two 5 gallon buckets in the basement. Each bucket has 30 meals in it. The my wife bought me a solar powered battery light off of this guy’s podcast for my birthday. He is still preaching the “Q” crap. He sells all sorts of t shirts, bumper stickers, etc.
Then there is the guy who always films so you can just see his feet. He lives out in the desert SW somewhere. There were the rumors going around that JFK jr was still alive. That he had faked his death in the airplane. That he did that because he was going to run for US Senator from NY. That Hillary was trying to kill him because she was also running for US Senate.
I suspect that some people simply can’t bring themselves to face the alternative, that the election was openly stolen, and that the illegality was going to be rewarded, and nothing was going to be done about it.
Heck. I didn’t believe it was going to happen, but...I didn’t want to say for sure it wasn’t because the ramifications of believing they would get away with it were just awful, and...I do have one foot in reality.
“The purpose of this article is not to mock, ridicule, or insult. Nor am I here to gloat or say, “I told you so.” “
Of course IT IS!
The writer is a TRAITOR in sheep’s clothing.
Can’t we all just get along?
Can’t we all just admit that Trump LOST?
NEVER!
The year aint over yet.
bingo
Trump’s biggest mistake (other than many of his appointments) appears to be not following Flynn’s advice.
We just experienced a communist coup and the steady takeover of our government (you can argue when it began).
So what is Trumps plan? To continue as if we live in a constitutional republic?
Meanwhile, the lack of outrage, and most important - action, toward the election fraud is stunning. Where are the mass protests? strikes? When will someone from the left be charged with a serious crime? People seem more concerned over the government coercion of vaccinations and mask rules, when this is just a derivative of the corrupt ruling class?
The working theory on the “Q” conspiracies was that it’s all Deep State, designed to convince conservatives that their ‘salvation’ is just ahead, so don’t act up (get angry with the present) or you might blow it.
So the deep state was Q telling gullable conservitives how the deep state would be taken down?. Sorta like Hitler telling the Russians and Stalin how he will F’up in Stalingrad, and heres how to take Berlin!
It happened back in 1988 when that deep state shill bush got into office, then came the rapist and his murdering wife, then the second deep stater, then the illegal kenyan. Trump was 1/10th the president we really needed, a political rookie, So no one was arrested, nasty p torn up his state of the union address right on national T.V. and NOTHING!! SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF OFFICE FOR THAT! no one went to jail. The politicians are even more untouchable now.
I don’t believe the 2020 election was fair and without fraud, but Trump returning was never going to happen.
“....There were the rumors going around that JFK jr ....”
He owns a bar with Andy Kaufman. Recently bought out Elvis’s stake in the bar.
Trump lost because of two reasons:
First, he lost the middle of the road swing voters. The soccer moms did not like his mean tweets. However, there were a lot of swing voters who thought he was an a$$hole. If he had been more diplomatic and kept his mouth shut he probably would have been reelected.
Second, the Dems were very good at cheating in select cities. Detroit, Philly, Milwaukee, Atlanta, Phoenix all went for Biden with coordinated efforts. Someone coordinated the 11pm halt in counting ballots. They made the most of the vote by mail in states that had never had it prior.
The question now is what are we going to do about it? I do not live in any of the above mentioned states. I live in NH.
I write to my state reps and the person I know from the NH Executive Council. I had a conversation with him Friday night.
F Swing Voters, mindless oafs who can't think for themselves. What the hell do they know about politics, that politicians are supposed to be nice?!?!? Stupid fools.
I think the funny thing about the whole JFK Jr is still alive theory is that how come his wife’s and sister in laws family sued the Kennedy family in a wrongful death lawsuit?
Did only Jr’s wife and sister die in the plane crash into the Atlantic Ocean? Yet Jr survived? OH thats right his wife survived too and they are now living somewhere outside of Las Vegas, NV under an assumed name.
If you are a woman, never get into a car or a plane with a Kennedy.
Honestly, that’s what always perplexed me. People who I otherwise held in high regard. One common thread I see, but not based on empirical evidence, is they’ve seemed to have had financial issues at one time or another.
No he didn't, little lamb. He won in a landslide. What are you, Karl Rove?
I write to my state reps and the person I know from the NH Executive Council.
There ya go. That'll fix everything.
