I'm sure many people will be greatly inspired by this message. They will believe America is great... Exceptional... And that American people are special and chosen. A great motivational speech that will do no end of good for people's self esteem and pride. That sees political enemies as someone to be vanquished and rebuked.Here's an article which puts things in perspective.
Will America Die Or Thrive? An Open Letter To The American People

2020 isn’t a normal year and it certainly isn’t a normal election. You see, normal elections are marked by Democrats attempting to buy votes with an endless array of government handouts, freebies, special interest priorities, or any number of other big government promises.
Historically in a normal election year, the Republican message has been focused, in large part, on simply counter-messaging the Democrats’ false promises. In the past this has left Republicans appearing milquetoast and created a scenario where the Democrat-controlled media could force national Republicans into a defensive position, rendering them poorly equipped to offensively control the narrative.
But 2020 is not a normal election year. 2020 is about something so much more than “winning” an election. The stakes are higher than they’ve ever been before and we all know it. We can feel it.
At its core, 2020 is about protection. Sadly, it’s about protecting the American people from Democrat riots, looting, and violence, not to mention the attempts by countless Democrats all over the country to defund our police departments. And while 2020 is literally about protecting our communities from political violence, it’s also about protecting our freedom, opportunities and prosperity.
After nearly a decade of Democrat rule under the Obama-Biden administration—an administration wrought with feckless, uninspiring leadership, economic stagnation, and apathetic, if not non-existent, national aspirations—the Democrats have spent the last three and a half years doubling down on their strategy of division. Day after day, Democrats have sought to make the American people feel weak, unimportant and unexceptional.
2020 isn’t a normal election year because the American people are fed up. This election is about being inspired again. It’s about being aspirational once again. It’s about believing in the greatness, benevolence, diversity and strength of the greatest nation on earth. It’s about a great American revitalization.
The lines have never been more clearly drawn. 2020 is the battle between freedom and socialism. Law and order and anarchy. High quality education for our children and highly politicized education. Protecting life and celebrating the destruction of life. A patient/doctor focused healthcare system and a government micro-managed one. Lower taxes and higher taxes. Justice for all and double standards for the favored elites. American strength and American subservience. 2020 is about protecting and preserving the American dream for generations to come.
This election cycle, Americans are looking for leaders like the greats of generations past—the Kings, the Reagans, the Lincolns—who will speak boldly, who will speak truthfully, and who will speak inspiringly about the nation that we love so deeply, while helplessly feeling it slip away.
COVID-19 has taught many of our fellow countrymen that even those leaders whom they thought could be trusted with the duty of protecting them can no longer be relied upon. The onslaught of misinformation and outright lies from a media fixated on the destruction of the one man standing between everyday hardworking Americans and the jackboot of government has taught many to question everything and believe nothing.
Yet despite the growing cynicism, Americans want to be united in a common purpose, a common cause and a common spirit of exceptionalism. Amidst the chaos of the events of this year, and as we watch the election unfolding in front of us, it is imperative that we reflect and remember our history. This nation was divinely inspired and it will be divinely revitalized.
Just like Esther in the Scripture, our founding fathers were placed in their exact time and place in history to do God’s will and found this great nation that has done more to achieve peace, opportunity and prosperity for the world than any people since God spoke this earth to life. So too, God has placed each of us—each of you—in a time such as this to do His will.
God has gifted each of us with the exact skillset necessary to speak boldly, truthfully, and inspiringly in these dark times. God has called each of us to preserve and defend the freedom and liberty with which He has bestowed on the people of this nation. As we answer His calling in the coming days, do so with the passion and conviction that comes from knowing you are on the winning side of history.
The American people—our families, our neighbors, our coworkers, our fellow countrymen—are looking for leaders who will defend us from the uncertainty, chaos, mayhem, and turmoil that seems, at times, to surround us.
America needs leaders who will steady the waters and remove the clouds of despair Democrats have created for their own selfish, political gain. It’s up to you, everyday Americans, to be those leaders.
It’s up to you to keep America free. To keep America prosperous. To keep America safe. To keep America strong. And to keep America great for this generation and the next.
2020 is not a normal election year. Failure is not an option.

Will America Die Or Thrive? An Open Letter To The American People
I'm sure many people will be greatly inspired by this message. They will believe America is great... Exceptional... And that American people are special and chosen. A great motivational speech that will do no end of good for people's self esteem and pride. That sees political enemies as someone to be vanquished and rebuked.
And it's the exact opposite to the gospel, which I see absolutely no evidence of in the whole message.
Each of religion, there are weeds and wheat in them. In catholic there is a weeds and wheat, so does within protestant and other religion also. So, don't be fooled by statement to equalizing of those religious based sentiment and hatred, whosoever doeth the generalization propaganda of other group is influenced by demons.If religion put into political interest, then whosoever doeth this will encounter the devil's influence because the motives was not related to God's nature but their motives is money (Mammon).
What Americans seem oblivious to is the religious direction the nation is heading. Both the Pope AND evangelical leaders are proclaiming that the separation of church and state is demonic. Americans by and large are being deceived by the leaders into believing that a union of church and state is the nation's only solution to the moral decline of the nation. They are telling everyone that there is no such thing as a separation clause. That the founders had no intent for the church and state to be separate. One day soon, and I see it taking shape now, the constitution will trampled underfoot (figuratively speaking) and the state will act in subservient obedience to the church. The question then becomes, which church? And in legislature in the states the greater majority is held by people who believe the bishop of Rome has the precedence over the constitution, and they are now being supported by Protestant pastors of all shapes and flavors seeking a union with Rome and a denial of the reformation. How many Americans are taking these things into account when voting? How many Catholic jurists on the supreme court? Who appointed a Catholic AG? Another concerning trend is the embrace of visions and dreams (ala George Washington...a known Freemason whose god is Lucifer) as a sign of America's future victories over threats. I see a dangerous trend in American Christianity where salvation is not so much deliverance from sin through faith and obedience to Jesus, but deliverance from circumstances, be it political, financial, or social.I agree. Speaking as an American and as a political Independent, I deeply yearn for better presidential candidates than Joe Biden and Donald Trump. I'm still undecided at this time, to be honest. I don't particularly want to vote for Joe Biden and I'm not voting for Donald Trump. As an Independent, I've been relatively conservative whenever I vote, but my attitude and personal view of conservativism has drastically changed.

Right-wing Conservatism and Evangelical Christianity have been bedfellows and joined at the hip for a long time now. I think it's been much worse since Trump showed up on the political scene during the 2016 presidential election. I use to lean more to the right than the left as a political Independent, so I hope the Republican Party can be salvaged after Trump is gone. I hope it'll recover from the damnatory effects of Trumpism. Admittedly, I'm wary of the possibility that its recovery will take years or the damage of Trumpism will be irreversible. I'm notably concerned that the Republican Party will be forever associated with Donald Trump and it'll never be able to revive its honorable reputation.
There will be no cure for Covid 19.
Aren't we???????They will believe America is great... Exceptional... And that American people are special and chosen.
No offense, Backlit, but I wish I was as much an expert on what Americans think as you are (and some of the other dern ferriners on this forum). I mean, I could write a book and make a million. You're kind of overgeneralizing, don't you think?What Americans seem oblivious to is the religious direction the nation is heading.
Hi, Seven of Nine, mind if I call you Seven of Eleven?? (I know it's corny, but that's my only Star Trek joke. Made it up myself.)
I'm just curious about what you see as the damnatory effects of Trumpism.
Ah, you missed my joke--Seven of Eleven, you know, 7-11, the convenience store? I guess it's a really bad joke if I have to explain it.Seven of Nine is fine. It was a toss-up for me between her and Jadzia Dax when I was thinking of a ST handle to use here.
Concerning your inquiry on the terrible effects of Trumpism, I've been keeping track of how Trump's Christian supporters are being perceived by unbelievers and by other Christians, such as myself. In fact, I've been paying attention to this since the 2016 presidential election. The most prominent examples are his Christian supporters are being denounced for deserting their principles and exhibiting moral hypocrisy. I can provide you with plenty of news articles that will perfectly substantiate my point of view. I've personally done some extensive research on this issue.
Right-wing Conservatism ? I believe Conservative is truly a central position in reality, but yes I understand it's become what one could describe nowadays as Right-wing under the shadow of Socialism today would be how it's expressed. not to mention that such are not truly conservative but may play the conservative on one hand and the right-wing issues on the other.Right-wing Conservatism and Evangelical Christianity have been bedfellows and joined at the hip for a long time now.

7 of 9 is a Borg in fact !Seven of Nine is fine. It was a toss-up for me between her and Jadzia Dax when I was thinking of a ST handle to use here.
