OK, so let me get this straight:
- I don’t believe in killing babies (before or after birth),
- I don’t believe in castrating little boys or cutting off the breasts of teenage girls,
- I don’t want any more wasteful wars,
- I don’t want strangers crossing our borders and raping our women,
- I don’t want to see children being sexually trafficked,
- I don’t want refugees depressing the wages of working class Americans, and finally,
- I don’t want governments killing innocent squirrels.
So am I to believe that Patriarch Bartholomew wants all this?
I suppose so, according to our friends at Public Orthodoxy. https://x.com/ananiasfather/status/1853628125726585234?s=46
Look, I get it, Trump isn’t the Savior of the Nation. No one is (other than Jesus). But compared to the utter bolshevism that animates the other party, the decision isn’t even close. Not for a Christian, an observant Jew, a Muslim or even an animist at this point. Heck, I know dope-smoking libertarians, gays, lesbians, and and atheists who don’t want to see four more years of this nonsense. Our major cities are dystopian hell-scapes, brought to you by the “party of compassion.”
And let’s be honest: if Kackles is rigged into office, this will be the last election decided by ballots. All future ones will be decided by bullets.
So yeah, it’s Trump or nothing. For me, it’s a purely political decision. What I can’t understand is why supposedly Orthodox professionals like the author of this piece can’t see it. As for San Giacomo? Yeah, I can see why he’s on board with all the cultural Marxism that’s been shoved down our throats, but that’s about it.
I guess the moral of the story as far as I’m concerned is, if I had a smidgen of a doubt about voting for Trump, Public Orthodoxy wiped it out, once and for all.
PS, In the interest of fairness, I’d be more than happy to have an open debate about this issue with either Messrs San Giacomo or Zavitsanos.
