Nov. 14, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) - Since the election of Donald
Trump, the level of meltdown on the Left has now reached proportions rivalling Chernobyl
Which is exactly how Christians have felt under Barack
Obama for the past eight years.
Many of my
non-Christian and liberal friends find it bewildering that both evangelicals
and Catholics voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump, a thrice-married casino
operator infamous for his vulgar trash talk. I want to take a moment to explain
to them directly why most Christians voted for him anyway. It’s simple, really:
Christians voted for Donald Trump because they felt that the threat a de facto third Obama term posed to Christian
communities was an existential one.
The attacks on
Christians from the highest levels of government have been relentless now for
nearly a decade. Obama wants to force Christian churches and schools to accept the
most radical and most recent version of gender ideology, and he is willing to
issue executive decrees on the issue to force the less enlightened to get in
line. Christian concerns are dismissed out of hand as “transphobia.”
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton informed one audience that Christians
would have to change their beliefs on some issues. And now Christians are
having conversations around the dinner table about what do if the government
forces curricula on them that they cannot accept, because their own government
is increasingly indicating that Christian parents are too homophobic and too
hateful to teach their own children. Can you understand how terrified mothers
and fathers are at the prospect that those in power want to actively prevent
them from passing their beliefs on to their own children?
I can understand why
those from some immigrant communities might be worried about how a Trump
presidency could affect them personally—but as for the largely white liberal
university students throwing a temper tantrum—what do you have to freak out
about? No one is saying that you can’t pass your values on to your children. No one is
saying you’re a bigoted, fascistic hater of
minorities simply because you happen to have a different belief system. But
they are saying
that about Christians—and you were, too. And they mean it. The students weeping
in fear at a Trump administration have nothing to worry about. No one’s going
to cancel their Women’s Studies program or shut down their LBGTQ2etc
Collective. Get over it.
And then there was
the rapid rise of rainbow fascism. Christian bakers are under attack. Christian
photographers. Christian pastors. Real people are losing real businesses that they had labored for years to
build. Their way of life is being destroyed.
In some cases, Christian business owners saw the wages they needed to feed
their families dry up because they were targeted by gay activists and labeled
hateful, homophobic bigots simply for declining to assist in celebrating a gay
union. That’s all. They just
wanted to live their lives in accordance with their own beliefs, and because of
that, activists came gunning for them. It wasn’t good enough to go down the
street to any number of photographers or bakers who would be more than happy to
help celebrate a gay wedding. They needed to see those little family businesses
destroyed, even if it meant that the baker and his family ended up on the
street. Dissenters must be crushed…
And then there was
the fact that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton wanted to force Christians to
fund the abortion industry, something many of you support because everyone
babbles on about “reproductive rights” without ever talking about what abortion
actually is. Abortion. Google it.
I’m challenging you in all seriousness. That’s how I ended up involved in the
pro-life movement: by Googling it…. Take a second, and actually look at pictures of the dead babies, and
then remember that Barack Obama even voted against protecting those children
who survived abortion, and that Hillary Clinton
defended abortion even in the latest stages of pregnancy.
Is it really so hard
for you to understand that those who fight tirelessly to protect these babies
might be willing to gamble on the support of a brash billionaire rather than
cast their vote for someone who thinks the youngest members of the human family
are nothing more than soulless trash? I’ve seen an aborted baby before. I’ve held a butchered little boy in my hands. Maybe
if you did, too, you could understand why we don’t think Hillary Clinton is a
good person. We think her political positions directly result in dead children, because that’s the
truth.
This is not even to
get into the fact that the Democratic war on religious liberty was so malicious
it had them going to court to force nuns—a
group called “Little Sisters of the Poor”—to fund birth control. Dissenters
must be crushed, after all.
The simple fact is
that Christians voted in self-defence. They voted to put the brakes on the
relentless, eight-year-long assault not just on their values, but on their
ability to live their lives unmolested without having radical progressives
attempt to force some newly invented ideology down their throat or hang some
new “phobia” label around their necks or garnish their wages to pay for medical
exterminators to suction tiny human beings into bloody slurry. Most of these
Christians are not activists. Most of them simply want to be left alone. But
for eight long years, they weren’t left alone. And so this time around, they
voted to give Obama and his progressive minions the hugest shove they could.
Donald Trump may well prove to be destructive force. Time will
tell. But for many people, he is currently destroying all the right things. Michael Moore
wasn’t wrong to refer to Trump as a “legal Molotov cocktail”
that the voters threw right through the front window of the elites. Secular
progressives have been using political correctness to strangle the life out of
Christians, calling them every name in the book and treating them like
seething, hateful gay-bashers. Now, the media saddled a man with every label
they could possibly come up with—and he won anyway. Progressives created a
system that would convict Christians every single time, replete with
ever-shifting speech codes that informed any number of bewildered men and women
that the hate they didn’t feel towards anyone was obviously there, anyway. And
then a sledgehammer named Donald Trump showed up, and the harried and henpecked
voters decided to use it to smash a system created specifically to marginalize
and label them.
What you have to
understand is that Christians hear the media much differently than the rest of
you. They hear themselves being mocked and ridiculed
by men like John Oliver, who believes that a man with a penis can
simultaneously be a woman. They hear themselves being cursed as
awful people by Samantha Bee, who thinks that it’s perfectly okay to
stab a baby in the skull in the third trimester of pregnancy. They hear
themselves being called hateful bigots by Bill Maher, who claims to value
diversity. And they may chuckle painfully, but they also know that they are
loathed by those who are now demanding to know how they could possibly have voted for Donald Trump over Hillary
Clinton, a woman who would have taken her own sledgehammer to
religious liberty at the very earliest opportunity.
We’ll have to see
how a Trump presidency progresses. With men like Mike Pence around him, he may
prove to be an ally to the Christians who cast their ballots for him on Election
Day. But even if he isn’t, Christians are simply relieved that he isn’t Hillary
Clinton. As I pointed out
prior to Election Day, most of us are quite aware that Donald Trump
doesn’t care about abortion or religious liberty. But on the other hand,
Hillary Clinton is passionate about abortion, and she is passionate
about furthering her party’s radical social agenda. Even if Donald Trump does
nothing for Christians, at least he’ll leave them alone. After eight years of
Barack Obama, that would be a tremendous relief.
That’s why so many
Christians voted for Donald J. Trump.
