Well I guess maybe it's harder for and outsider to see. I'm only 43 but I remember Free America in the 80's. Yes there were flaws.
Then came the Clintons. Scandal after scandal, mysterious deaths, the so called assault weapons ban that did nothing but ban flash hiders, bayonet lugs, and mags larger than 10 rnds. BTW that law is almost single handedly responsible for the popularity of ar15's today imo. But I digress.
Then 9-11 came and we saw more freedom ripped away in the name of safety and security. The patriot act, the tsa groping people "randomly" at airports. NSA monitoring phones and storing data.
Then not 4 but 8 years of the most liberal president anyone can remember. Monitoring speech, everything said against someone that may happen to be a minority is hate speech. Meanwhile they can call me (white male, gasp!) a redneck, racist, teabagger, any name they can think of and it's fine, they are just venting their frustration and white males are the only un-protected class of citizen so it's not hate speech or a hate crime. Whitey just keep paying in to the govt so the welfare checks don't get interrupted. Kids getting thrown out of school for chewing a pop tart in the shape of a gun. Wear an NRA shirt to school? Well figure on getting thrown out.
So I voted loud and proud for Trump, in the primary and the general. Yeah he's said some pretty wild things. If someone recorded everything I said I wouldn't want my mom to hear it either. Possibly we will be disappointed, but that has happened with every president since 1988. This guy is not a mealy mouthed politically correct used car salesman that panders to every minority group who believe they need special treatment. A man needs an opportunity to earn his own way in the world, whatever his race or creed. And that's all he needs or deserves. I respect any person who takes care of his/her own needs and the needs of their family, regardless of what demographic they fall into. The truly helpless are in a different category and I have no problem doing my part to help them. But they are a small minority of the people who are collecting. I also have no problem with temporary help to those who have fallen on un-foreseen hard times or tragedy.
As for the religious reference, well Trump is a sinner, as are all of us. So were all of Jesus' apostles. The secular progressives that are ruling this country at the moment have turned everything upside down and are trying to re-write the history books. Everything we know to be right is now wrong. Everything we know to be wrong is now right. The fact they aren't allowed to continue this movement going forward is nothing short of a miracle from God.
