Why Trump
Gonna’ try and make this quick. Why I already voted for Donald Trump:
- Policies. The Republican Party platform best aligns with my values. The Democrat platform opposes them. On life, immigration, the economy, gender issues, foreign policy and more, a Trump administration will govern with conservative wisdom, moral clarity, and common sense. A Harris administration would not.
- Authenticity. With all his bluster, Trump is still, hands down, the more authentic of the two candidates. When he speaks you’re seeing and hearing who he really is. Kamala Harris is staged, shifty, and surreptitious. Trump talks to Joe Rogan for 3 hours unscripted; Harris puts on a middle class persona in orchestrated beer guzzling with Kimmel and Whitmer.
And that’s really about it. I don’t like some of the things Trump says or has done; his speeches are rambling; his position on abortion is not conservative enough for me. But I really believe he has the good of our country as his goal, whereas Harris has communism as hers.
The lies the left continues to promote about what Trump has said or will do is so maddening because what they’re doing is so wrong, and because many people will blindly and sheepishly believe them. Please, if you’re planning to vote for Harris because you think Trump is a racist/fascist/Hitlerian figure, investigate their claims before you do. And not merely via the mainstream media, who are largely in the tank for the Democrats.
I genuinely fear for America if Kamala Harris gets elected. Perhaps God will allow it even though it would mean great hardship for us. Great hardship is often what leads people to seek him.
He is sovereign. I pray regularly his mercy on our country, but whatever happens I will continue to trust him.
May God bless America again.
Great post, Caroline, I couldn’t agree more. For those readers, particularly Christians, that think they don’t want or need to vote, let me provide a few quotes to convince them otherwise.
“Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” Jeremiah 29:7. God commands us to be engaged in our communities, to act. One critical way to do that is to vote our values, those values given to us by God.
Quoting from writer Chenyuan Snider, who escaped from Communist China: “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded” (Luke 12:48). Unless we repent and do our duty, like the servant “who knows his master’s will and does not do what his master wants,” we will be beaten with many blows (Luke 12:47), and face the possibility of losing what have been entrusted to us (Matthew 25:14-30).” We have a duty to fight to uphold the exceptional system — a distinct blessing from God — we enjoy in the USA.
Quoting from Davy Crockett: “Be always sure you’re right — then go ahead.” As Caroline described, determine which candidate and party best supports our Christian values and then go forward and act on that determination.

Good words, David. God’s instructions to the Israelites in exile are especially applicable.
Christians who refuse to vote because they don’t like either candidate are failing to contribute to the good of their neighbors.
