I have a simple question for Biden supporters....

First let me say that Trump is not my favorite president. I voted for him twice - for the same reasons: to support the unborn, to keep the Supreme Court balanced [i.e. not a clean sweep of radical lefts/rights], and to support the Constitution of the United States.

I did not vote for Biden, yet I am willing to accept that he is president and pray for him and to TRY to reach across the aisle and TRY to find some common ground with those that hate President Trump.

Here is an email that president-elect Biden sent out this afternoon to the people.

"I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice-President-elect Harris. . . . With the campaign over, it's time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation. It's time for America to unite. And to heal. We are the United States of America. And there's nothing we can't do if we do it together."

Here is my simple question.

Why am I being asked to do something that Joe Biden was unwilling to do four years ago and that the left refused to do for four long and bitter years?

FROM THE FIRST DAY, the left chanted in union "NOT MY PRESIDENT". The lies, hate, gossip, the failed impeachment, and more flowed like water.

No one on the left accepted Trump as president nor was willing to reach across the aisle for unity.

Why is president-elect Biden asking the right to do what he and the left refused to do?

I am not allowed to vote, because the government lockdowns and disorganization had prevented me from processing the paperwork that would have give me the legal right to vote. If I had voted, I would have voted for Biden. BUT I am deeply deeply disappointed at his lack of understanding of the half that did not vote for him. Humble relief is the only appropriate reaction to "winning" this election, and the attention needs to be on serving and consoling and wooing the "losers" until they feel enfolded into the USA again.

This winter is going to be a mess. And this winter would be a mess no matter who "won". There are no winners. We as a nation are in trouble. All of us. Yes, he does not see that. This is a day of grief, not celebration.

Many people that voted for Biden were not voting for Biden. They had just decided not to vote for Trump. Someone close to me has always voted Republican, but did not this year. She marked the ballot for Biden, but did not vote for Biden and does not identify as a democrat. His speech does not recognize her. She did not win. She is afraid and grieving.

It is hard to understand how any believer would choose to vote for Joe Biden.

Would a vote for Joe Biden in effect be a vote to limit the First Amendment and the Second Amendment as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom to bear arms will be hindered and harmed under Biden's liberal agenda, be a vote to support the killing or abortion of innocent unborn babies, and be a vote to support an increase in illegal immigration since they will expect later to be made American citizens?

Higher taxes on businesses will merely be passed on as hidden taxes on all who buy their services or products or otherwise the business would have to cut costs by laying off workers unless they choose to close.

Some of us have been exposed to some harsh realities that lead us to believe that it is not that simple. I am not saying that I am right. I am a work in progress and every year I become more aware of what I do not know. I understand more than ever the scriptures about understanding like a child. Voting this year was not simple. There were definitely Christians that voted for Biden out of desperation. I know one young man that believed that no Christian could vote for Trump.

I feel like very very few people really voted for the person that they marked on the ballot. Many people just voted for the opposite of something.

Because that's what Republicans asked Democrats to do after Republicans spent 8 years disrespecting President Obama. No one on the left accepted Trump because the right didn't accept President Obama. Simply put.

Democrats such as Joe Biden and the liberal news media are just as negative, critical, or hateful in their allegations and claims against Trump as Trump is against them.

A vote for Biden was not the opposite of Trump's speech since the left is just as negative and critical against the right, conservatives, and Bible-believers as conservatives or the right may be against the left.

The pro-family, pro-religious liberty, pro-life, pro-America policies of Trump were reasons to vote for him regardless of his personality or speech.

I have found it very frightening to watch the media this election. I have never seen media cut away from a presidential speech claiming that they are protecting the people from the presidents lies. What authority do they have to protect people from their president? Something is wrong there in a way that is entirely new to me. This is far outside the checks and balances instituted by the founding fathers. The media is not a 4th branch of government.

I won't deny that some of the opposition against President Obama was too aggressive and hateful.

But then were Republicans just reacted to 8 years of President Bush being called retarded, war monger, idiot, and treated like trash?

Where does it end?

That's the question. Let's see if Republicans will be the ones to end it.
By brazenly attempting to steal the election, which may yet prove successful, the Dems have ensured that there is no real possibility of anything but a much deeper divide. They would have to relent and repent very soon, but we know that won't happen. One thing though, it is fitting that one of their most corrupt politicians would be the beneficiary of the steal. Maybe even CornPop would nod approvingly.

You have to understand, its not just about rhetoric. Its about policy and agenda. What Obama, Hillary, and Biden want to do is so far from the founding of this country, our constitution, and more importantly God that it is impossible to come together or even find some common ground.

The fact is there is no common ground. Their intents and agenda is only evil. There is no good in them or what they want to do. They lied to get into office and they will only continue to do so to further their agenda.

Many Americans are afraid. Talk of a civil war is real. As it stand right now it looks like many truckers will go on a one day strike in the 29th.

Further, the way the ballots were counted is very suspicious. Biden gets a lead in the dead of the night in multiple locations. Far to many do not trust this election, do not trust Biden, do not trust the press, and if they lose trust in the courts it will not be good.

This fear is real, its very high, and its driving a lot of unimaginable talk right now. I myself would not dismiss them.

.

It would be a falsehood for Joe Biden to claim that he can and will unite America.

According to the left's understanding of compromise, it is the right or conservatives who always have to cave and accept a great deal of the left's agenda while the left only gives in concerning a few extra demands that they make that they knew that they would not get anyway.

It is not that simple at all.

The right correctly did not accept Obama's left-wing, pro-socialist leaning agenda which was way to the left of where Democrats had been under Clinton.

The left today is even much more extreme and radical than the left was when Obama was president. Biden has been pushed more to the left than Democrats were even when Obama was president.

Biden directed his son Hunter to accept money from the Chinese government and Chinese military on his behalf in betrayal of the American people and in violation of federal law.

Trump should release the contents of Anthony Weiner’s laptop computer as well as the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop computer. An article in American Thinker says hardened vice cops puke when they view those computers.

Maybe this attitude has something to do with it.

If Biden and Harris fail to come out forcefully against this initiative and successfully quash it, there will be no reasonable way for genuine Reps to work with any new administration or Dems in general.

Rhetoric regarding unity means nothing in the face of such abuse. It just becomes yet more hypocrisy from the Dem Progressive Left.
