Why Many Christians & Constitutionalists Are Distressed By Trump's 2024 Election Victory - Jeff Wiersma

Pro tips for those wondering why many Christians and Constitutionalists have been so distressed by Trump winning the 2024 election:

For both Christians and Constitutionalists, it isn’t just partisan disappointment about how one election turned out. We’ve all had the candidate we didn’t prefer get more votes before.

Rather, it’s that Trump is so uniquely amoral, undignified, nihilistic, treasonous, unqualified, malevolent, incompetent, and dangerous - and has been given power once again while being enthusiastically supported by so many, despite the aforementioned flaws and despite repeatedly issuing ominous threats of the authoritarian and/or unChrist-like things he hopes to do once in office again. That’s our lament.

Additionally, none of the candidates who in previously elections got more vote than one's preferred candidate were rightly to be dreaded to anything close to degree which Trump is.

Accordingly, previous experiences of 4 year presidential terms where one’s candidate wasn’t in office simply aren’t in any way analogous to the 2024 election.

This election saw the return to power of a man who - despite professing Christian faith - shamelessly operates outside of the guardrails of Christian Values, Jesus' teachings, and universal ethical standards.  This election saw the return to power of a man who - despite swearing an oath to uphold the Constitution - shamelessly campaigns and governed outside of the guardrails of our constitution, international law, and diplomatic norms.
