Some folks were chatting about this, this morning before church services where I go (a Southern Baptist church).
I think it is the pragmatic vote people who are not being vocal about it because they are afraid of the criticism of the purity vote people. “Oh, I could NEVER vote for Donald Trump because he believes in this thing that is utterly contrary to my Christian principles.” No matter that Hillary is into the same thing even worse, whereas a Donald regime might actually give the objectionable principle a fair chance to die off through the popular will and his Supreme Court legacy.
“I think it is the pragmatic vote people who are not being vocal about it because they are afraid of the criticism of the purity vote people.”
Well I know I am like that. I am in the belly of the beast here in Southern California. This is Hillary (or whoever the Democrat nominee is) Country. Most co-workers, old friends, and some in family are die hard Democrat supporters. They would vote for Lucifer himself if he were the democRAT nominee! They all know Hillary is wholly corrupt and dishonest, but they still hate Trump more.
They are all very aggressive too in their hatred for Trump (or any Republican). To spare myself grief, I just keep quiet around these types myself. Two of my co-workers were talking about the election Friday in the break room. They were all talking about what an idiot Trump is and how they can’t wait for the coming Hillary landslide. Then they asked me what I thought. I told them I don’t vote or care to vote.
So you can count me in many situations as one of those silent Trump voters. I am sure there are many like me. Democrats are such nasty, vile people, our side just doesn’t want to deal with the grief from these people. It’s best to just stay silent.
They have more in common with Pontius Pilate washing his hands and permitting evil to be done than with Christ.
