“Donald Trump if the Democrats don’t steal it.”
Two years ago about this time, I was sitting in a friend’s family room watching the final Trump/Biden presidential debate. My friend had asked me who I thought was going to win the 2020 presidential election and I replied to him that I thought Trump would win if the Democrats didn’t steal the election.
As things turned out, the Democrats with a little help from their friends in the Deep State, major corporations, the courts, the Covid lockdowns, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, the mainstream media, major social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, the entertainment industry, pollsters, schools, universities, and various and sundry thugs in the Democrat party, etc. did manage to steal the election for the most incompetent and uninspiring presidential candidate in my lifetime, possibly in all of American history.
The theft of the 2020 presidential election and the ability of the Democrats and their helpers to make it stick bodes ill for the future of our republic. The successful steal, perhaps it’s better to call it a coup d’état, of the 2020 election has led many to the opinion that we cannot vote our way out of the problems currently facing our nation. Count me among their number.
But for all that, the aim of this post is not to discourage people from voting, giving up, and heading for their survival bunker in the hills. As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in a lost and dying world, and this includes carrying out our civic responsibilities the best we are able. Further, we do not know the future. Perhaps the Lord will have mercy on America for the sake of his elect and save us from the oppressive darkness we see gathering all around us. He’s done that sort of thing before, and he can do it again if he so wills. Has the arm of the Lord been shortened?
For this reason, it’s not my purpose today to fill people with dread and fear of the future. I’ll leave that to the Democrats. Rather, my aim is to realistically assess the situation facing America in November 2022 and offer a few suggestions and perhaps even venture a prognostication or two.
