We are now within a week of the election and we have two candidates who are viewed as highly morally flawed by most of the country and that may be true in both cases. In fact it undoubtedly is.
There are really 3 issues that should trump everything else; the economy, foreign affairs, and the border. Trump did well on all those while in office although some were disappointed that he didn’t get more done concerning the border. The Democrats were a complete disaster on all three issues. If we lived in an era where most people were rational this would be a Reagan type blowout.
There are a lot of people sidetracked by fringe issues like abortion, LGBTQ issues. If the economy totally tanks, WWIII hits, and our southern border is completely overrun then I guess a few stupid women and their male partners will be happy if they can get their abortion any place, at any time, and for any reason. If some guy can compete in sports against women I guess he will be happy.
Love your optimism but I have some worries. The midterm polls predicted a red wave and it wasn’t. So I got burned by expectations based on overly optimistic conservative .prognosticators.
All info points to the race being a dead heat going into tomorrow. I don’t know how we survive 4 years of Harris. Her policies are far left, she can’t answer a simple question, and will be completely disrespected by our enemies.
We only survive if gop takes house and senate
She I so bad she’ll make Biden look good on getting anything done
But even without congress she can make borders and foreign actions true disasters that will affect us long term
But we will survive
This why I think Congress needs to curb the “Executive Order” power a bit, I think both sides of the isle has abused the power to do things that should be done by Congress.
What will survival look like? Threat of nuclear war. The demolition of Israel which will usher in the millennium. Not many will survive that as internal ware fare in the U.S. will be massive. I find it difficult to hear so many “Christians” desiring for the 2nd coming because of what comes first.
There is a reason the day of the coming of the Lord is only known by the Father. When we read admonitions by prophets of old, even Moses, there is always an out for the destruction of Israel like if they change their hearts towards the Lord, they will be spared. Today is monumental.
I think some Christians misunderstand the scriptures thinking they will be raptured into the clouds and spared the calamities. I don’t know what other explanation there is. Lots of evangelicals stayed home in 2012 because they thought Romney wasn’t a Christian even though his policies would have been much better for them than Obama’s. I heard a number of them say that they thought an Obama presidency would hasten the 2nd coming because he was anti-Christian and they were fine with that. Go figure, choose between a man you don’t think is a Christian whose policies will be good for you and a man you are sure is anti-Christian and stay home and vote for neither and hand the election to the anti-Christian.
It is no wonder a lot of people think evangelicals are a bunch of nuts. I think anybody who tries to follow Christ is better off but some of these people have some strange ideas that lead the irreligious to think the evangelicals aren’t very smart. I still have more in common with them than I do with a bunch of irreligious secularists.
Brigham Young taught that the last days would be a period of great turmoil, with natural disasters, wars, and widespread destruction.
He believed that these events would serve as a form of divine purification, helping to separate the faithful from those who were not truly committed to their faith.
He encouraged members of the church to remain strong and faithful, trusting that their faith would see them through the difficult times ahead.
I read in the latter part of the Book of Mormon about how the Nephites divided into tribes instead of maintaining a central government. When I look at the country today, I see similar patterns where people are forming various types of tribes. It makes me wonder just how close we really are.
I’ve read from Church authors that there will be internal wars from what the scriptures say and our latter day prophets have said. That could mean states versus states, groups of people versus groups of people, towns against towns…We know there will be the Church of God and the great and abominable church. The Church of God will be obviously our Church and all other believers who share our strength in the Lord. The abominable church will be those who attack with many varieties of evil the people of the Church of God. We see this today the groups that attack Christ.
To Fish’s original topic (see, that’s how to actually use a possessive apostrophe, dumbA biden White House).
I’m 8 hours ahead of MST so won’t really know election results til I get up tomorrow morning here.
I do worry the women will turn out in droves to “Protect Women’s Rights” There’s been 30+ years of brainwashing young women that are now adults that there is no moral question to abortion - there is only the My Rights question. Now there’s never a thought if there is sanctity of the unborn/alive existing in a womb. That used to be a threshold question, notice that now it is NEVER brought up in any discussion except perhaps secondarily on Fox. So sad and tragic.
So I’m predicting Kamela wins getting 290 electoral college votes. It will be an insufferable 4 + years. Hope that does not happen. I’ll sound off more if it does and point out one long, long term upside.
My second choice is Trump in a rout - like getting all but 2 of the 8/9 battleground states.
Given how well I’m doing at predicting BYU FB (still self adulating you’ll notice) I fear the worst.
Trump lost last time because the media twisted what happened with Covid and got people to blame Trump for what happened. I think the media has lost a lot of its affect on people over the past 4 years. The evidence is much of the media declined to endorse Harris trying to look unbiased to get back their power. Joe Rogan endorsed Trump yesterday. He has 19 million followers and the leader of the new media. I wished he would have done it right after interviewing Trump. Whether one day to influence independent voters will be enough, don’t know.
Congrats fish on your landslide call
Sigh….
Trump has an opportunity to be a great president if he makes this about country first and Donald J second. He can do it!
