The editors of The American Mind at the Claremont Institute have been asking people to participate in a series called “What Comes Next” regarding the election and the future.
Yes, it is important, even vital, to engage with our communities. However, should we be saddled with a Biden-Harris administration and its efforts—possibly successful, especially if the Senate "flips" to Democratic Party control—to pack the Supreme Court, add two (reliably Democratic States) and perhaps dismantle the Electoral College are realized, we will have a brand of "Americanism" imposed on the republic that would be unrecognizable to the Founders.
Remember, Mr. Biden and his colleagues pledge to enact the (in)"Equality Act" in their first 100 days. To support the right of 8-year-olds to have their bodies irreversibly mutilated in the name of "transgender rights." And if you believe a Biden-Harris administration, or a succeeding Harris-Warren administration, will safeguard your free exercise of religion, I've got a bridge to sell you.
Seems to me someone could write a book about all this. Actually, I believe you did! #YouWillBeMadeToCare
It is not that local politics don't matter. Anyone from southwestern PA knows that the state is dominated by PHL Democrats and their region by PIT Democrats and there is not much anybody can do to change it, no matter what party controls Washington. But many important issues are federal government related. Anybody who comes from a region decimated by the loss of manufacturing jobs due to globalism knows this beyond any doubt. Likewise, if the Democrats win, the economic boom in O&G jobs in many rural areas is likely to have its balloon flattened. A major reason Trump draws huge crowds everywhere he goes is that his policies have made life better for people that neither the Washington establishment or their state governments care much about. After a lifetime of living in virtual serfdom to governments at the state and national level, the taste of freedom has wet many rural people's appetite for more. A similar phenomena seems to be happening to black voters in urban areas who view Trump as the only one interested in releasing them from the plantation of Democratic control. Freedom is a powerful motivator and it may play a bigger factor in this election than all the boatloads of money spent on ads by Democratic billionaires.
This is a repeat of 2016. Trump will be reelected. Ignore the polls and just vote.
Yes!
Love.
Theological, practical, informative and as always, very well done!
