Hate vs. Forgiveness

How does one justify Trump’s verbal hate for his opponents while still considering him a man of faith, family, and country? Has this changed anyone’s mind?

His base is made up mostly of the evangelicals, many family members of mine are supporting him. Not all believers fall for it though, a couple books i found before his 2nd term started piqued my interest, author's name is Tim Alberta, good to know that some Christians can see what's plainly evident.

@Handfull1 It's the wisps of books that somehow linger .... ty:)

@Handfull1 No, i tend to be too blunt and flee what i sense to be a waste of time, my shortcoming here is already knowing or judging what the response would be if i engaged with them.

@TheYawnArchive I couldn’t help but chuckle. My shortcoming also, but I’m much older so have had more time to practice!

I don't personally justify anyone's hate but my mind hasn't been changed. There were two poor choices just like the last two times. One of them won and we were going to lose anyway.

Until and unless the average voters get fed up enough to go 3rd party, get used to it. You wouldn't see a Libertarian pres. acting this way I bet! But we'll never know, will we?

@Handfull1 @SomeMichGuy

Knowledge is grounded in truth, not conspiracy theories or hunches. While I agree that our schools need to stop being so politicized and get to teaching the basics of reading writing and arithmetic.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@SomeMichGuy unfortunately, truth means very little these days.
@Handfull1 Yes.

And lack of a STEM background helps ppl to think

opinion ≈ science

or even

opinion "trumps" science

@independentone they elected him for one thing only, abortion rights.
@samueltyler2 Of course they did, the right has to end abortions, they are afraid they will run out of children to shoot in schools.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@independentone good point!

Who cares, every single person on earth has had hateful thoughts about someone at some point in their lives. He is no different.
jeancolby · 31-35, F
@Handfull1 Let me consult the tea leaves.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@jeancolby so in other words, you don’t care! Got it! ☮

How does the left have any room to criticize anyone for hating an opponent? What you see is your own hate of him being reflected back on you. Its consumed you for 9 years and you don"t get why he might hate you back? Really??

He's not a Christian, and that's all we have to know.
Even Adolf Hitler, when it was near the end, admitted that he was always a Christian.

@Handfull1

I agree, but it's obvious we don't need holy books to teach us that anymore.
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@calicuz one would think but obviously some didn’t get the memo!
calicuz · 56-60, M
@Handfull1

You're right, so it's clear they are not reading it.

It changed the rest of world’s minds as everyone lost faith in America as an ally.

@Reject sad but true

Considering that his "faithful" followers are full of hate for everything that is not them, why would this be a surprise?
Handfull1 · 61-69, F
@Northwest not really a surprise. I was curious as to what some thought. Crickets from his base.
@Northwest That's how they became his faithful...

An old saying I heard as a kid: "If your mother hates cats, you too will learn to hate cats but will never know the reason why you do".

He doesn’t care about justifying anything.
