I got a campaign email already fishing for 2024 donations. Is that what we’re doing now? I was full MAGA in 2015/16, and my child was born right after the election. I have wavered on my Trump support in the past and felt foolish for doing so. I was not religious when Trump won 4 years ago. Since Trump has ascended to office I have had a child with a chronic disability, and it led me to discovering Christ, which led me to question my support of Trump, for various reasons. But I eventually found a sensible pastor and he is a good man who sends out excellent Bible studies, and got me back on the righteous path. I know my support for Trump has been what God wants of me, because my daughter stood no chance but against all odds has been thriving.
But now, I don’t even understand what’s going on. I’m supposed to trust a plan that seems to end with Joe Biden as President. Is this really how it’s going to end? We just have to refocus on 2024? I feel like this can’t be right. I was sure Trump would win decisively on election night. Then I was sure his leads would hold. Then I was sure his legal challenges would succeed. And it’s been almost every day, the legal challenge that was supposed to be the one that delivers victory, has failed.
I don’t want to keep going through these crushing emotional let-downs. Mitch finally caving and then getting these Trump donation emails really was the last straw for me today. I’m done with the GOP. I want to hang in there for Trump, but at this point I can’t really even be sure he has any plan at all, or it’s just the GOP taking over in his name to keep the donations going.
I’m just ranting here really. I miss the victory rush of 2016 election night. This is all just a mess of fraud and sadness and I’m not sure if I even care anymore. Please give me words of encouragement.
God Bless.
5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes
He said:
3
“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4
Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5
Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7
Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9
Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Salt and Light
13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
Ranting has its place, and no one is immune from the need to speak out from time to time.
Just make sure sadness and misgivings aren’t allowed to dominate. If that happens, you risk becoming paralyzed by anxiety and sorrow, and unable to take any type of action no matter how willing you are.
And that is what the other side wants.
I have had a similar experience as yourself. The one constant through all this mess is God’s sovereign power and authority. Jesus the same yesterday today and forever. Nothing will happen outside of God’s will. I have prayed fervently and continually for Trump and his allies. That’s all I can do. Now having done all, stand. Trust God.
Tell them you are saving up your money to go into together with a bunch of pissed off MAGA people to buy Greenland from the Danes and move there.
Tell them that it may be cold and miserable up there, but at least you will have freedom and self determination.
Watch Hank Kunneman’s 12/13/20 message!!!!!!
Don’t bet against God and Trump!!!
Pray, fast, wait for God’s hand to move!!!!
Keep praying. It ain’t over till it’s over. Jan. 6 is a big day. Lots could happen between now and then. Many warriors still fighting behind the scenes.
God gave Israel one last good king, Josiah, shortly before He handed Israel over to be conquered. I believed Trump is our last good president before the rapture, before the tribulations.
God bless you and your family. It is all in God’s hands. I don’t think He will be kind to America (which has done little to deserve His blessings in the current generation) but have faith that He will look out for those who ask via prayer. Steel yourself for the coming troubles as best as you can.
Appreciate your view.
We’ll have, no matter what, a Senate majority- and then we’ll have a House majority.
Our Founders were very wise.
\(And that’s assuming China controls our vote.)
Nothing wrong with that.
The Deep State has spoken. New World Order.
81 million Trump supporters denied.
The media putting on a happy face for everybody to enjoy.
Do not ask me why, I do not know.

Love your reply!
Some of the 81 million are not quite yet done speaking.
Don’t look at the waves or the storm ( like Peter)
Keep your eyes on Christ.......keep the faith!
Press on with confidence
Repent from being a Republican and start being a Conservative. And Mitch isn’t a shot-caller in this one.
And BTW....there is a recall petition on his now. But I am not sure this isn’t theater in order to throw the scent off of what is actually happening. It makes ZERO sense for Mitch to say what he did. He knows the Constitution and he is an apt tactician.
“Put not your trust in princes.”
1. Biden isn’t sworn in yet. May never be.
2. Many leaders have shown great courage during this season. It is not right to see only the evil being done and not the good.
3. Nobody “loses” until they concede. Take a long view. Perhaps we will toil for centuries. Play your part.
4. Going to Greenland, stopping voting, or unilaterally quitting the GOP is just what your political enemies want you to do. Don’t be stupid.
As you know it is best to place one’s faith and trust in God rather than politicians.
It sounds like you have a busy and full life. There are plenty of things that interest me outside the world of politics. I wish you well.
Check out Steve Bannon’s War Room. It will perk you up. WE ARE STILL FIGHTING!!!
It ain’t over.
We’re right there with you.
It’s been a real roller coaster of a ride.
I do not know what God has in mind for us as a country. It’s He who establishes governments for His purposes and we’re not usually privy to why.
I wish I had an answer for you beyond encouraging you to prepare for the long haul. It’s a bit late for ammo and guns are useless without it.
Fortu, food and other necessities are still available for the time being.
And stay in the Word.
I find a huge difference in my attitude and outlook depending on how regularly I read Scripture. I can even tell when I miss just a day or two.
