Let’s Just Pretend

My husband and I had planned to be in Washington, DC this past Wednesday, traveling a total of 32 hours roundtrip by car and tour bus out of Petoskey.  We had to cancel for personal reasons, but we wanted to support our President and to stand with others who love our country and just want free and fair elections (considering this one stolen). I’ve been nauseated for the past two days as I view the disintegration of our nation.  The cowardice of our elected representatives who overlook obvious fraud, plug their ears, don’t want to deal with the messy details, and bend and break rules to achieve their desired outcome means they have failed the nation, all of them, from Mike Pence down both sides of the aisle.  They are the elites and you’d better not mess with them . . . or else.  You just might get shot.  And that would be justified, you filthy, unarmed Trump-supporter.  

We are asked to pretend that a demented Joe Biden won more votes than any candidate in history.  I won’t rehash the details, but there is so much about the 2020 election that makes little sense. So let’s just pretend Biden isn’t corrupt, and that all is well.  Let’s just slouch along into the sublime socialist society we’ve all been promised, forgetting that Lenin explained that the goal of socialism is communism.  And communism has killed over 100 million people in the last 100 years.  

Besides that, let’s turn our sights on President Trump and let’s pretend he is an evil, rotten man who has ruined our country.  And his supporters are domestic terrorists.  Let’s quickly forget his amazing accomplishments. Let’s pretend the mainstream media is our trustworthy source of absolute truth.  As I see it, the Trump presidency has been the best in my lifetime.  Many say Trump is the best and most effective President we have ever had.  I think George Washington still gets that title.  But the Trump era, with his America First policy, has brought peace and prosperity to our nation.  He made promises and kept them, not realizing a politician isn’t supposed to do that.  

Before the China virus hit our shores, think of how our economy was humming, wages were high, unemployment was at an all-time low, citizen satisfaction at an all-time high, no foreign wars.  Look at the peace in the Middle East, via the Abraham Accord.  See what he has done to protect life in the womb, defunding Planned Parenthood and speaking up for the pre-born.  His accomplishments are many in these past four years.  But let’s pretend he’s the devil incarnate and impeach, investigate, vilify, perpetually harass . . . and impeach again!  

I echo what Eric Metaxas says: Along w/millions of my fellow Americans I am convinced this election was illegitimate, so yes we have a problem. As a Christian I’m obliged to love my enemies & to praise God in all circumstances. So, we pray now to the Lord of glory that He do what man cannot & save our Republic.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when the wicked rule, the people groan(Proverbs 29:2)   Most of the Trump administration’s policies are righteous. Most of them have caused people to rejoice.  I’m afraid we must now be prepared to moan and groan, but let’s just pretend to be singing.
