The aftermath of the last election has left lots of people energized—and others despondent.

The aftermath of the last election has left lots of people energized—and others despondent. Kaitlyn explains why you need to continue engaging in politics even after feeling defeated—and Skye explains it with a Thanksgiving feast metaphor.

Would you share the book titles and author names for those of us who weren't in a position to write them down when Kaitlyn shared them? Thanks!

Thank you! Wonderful, practical suggestions at the end. One thing though that I'd mention is that this election really was different in that there aren't just interests that won't be prioritized, but rather whole people groups who will be targeted. I lament this so deeply and am trying not to judge others for how they voted, but it's hard to see such support for what looks to me like a whole lot of cruelty towards God's image bearers. And deeper still, I lament how people are misrepresenting Jesus. (And Jesus doesn't need any human being to protect His Church.) Blessings to all. ♡

I like Kaitlyn's point here about holding the newly elected administration accountable to their promise of protecting Christians. However, my fear is that many (if not most) of the Christians who voted for Trump are the type who are more willing to bend their principles to fit their party rather than trying to influence their party to line up with their principles. Honestly, I hope I'm wrong, but it's been hard not to see it this way. From my observations, as each party continues to vilify the other, it seems the ones wearing MAGA hats would sooner re-write the Bible to make it fit the proposed agendas before challenging the policies and plans that don't exemplify the love of Christ. As Kaitlyn put it, "We're not people who just passively let people use that label for whatever they want. We're not bought people who can just be kind of manipulated because we were promised protection. We're people who--if you're going to say you're for us, we're going to tell you what it means to be a Christian, and it involves a lot more than the things that kind of fit in either party's platform." Maybe you & I (and most listeners of the Holy Post) aren't those kind of people, but for some reason I have very little faith that those statements apply to the majority of the tens of millions of Christians who voted for Trump. Again, I hope I'm wrong.

I am struggling even now to not see Trump supporters as evil. As more and more chaos is swirling around they are thriving on it. They love that people are being mistreated, not one person I’ve ever seen on their side has said maybe Trump’s going too far maybe Elon’s going too far. But there’s so many videos of them making fun of Democrats just mocking them. As a person who lives off Social Security and takes care of someone, disabled and her grandson as well the talk of potentially Social Security going away what does that mean for my family? It’s hard to be super gracious when your entire financial means could be wiped out. And they don’t have any ability to research they believe every single thing Elon says or Trump says they never ever do the research so now they’re making up these insane lies about where money went well is stealing the money and laughing at them, they are defending him and saying look how evil the Democrats are. They spent millions of dollars on Chelsea Clinton when it’s been proven that that never happened for example. It’s just a real hard thing to realize that half of the country in my mind has lost any resemblance to Jesus.

“There was bacteria in the Turkey and I feel disgusted!” That’s exactly how I feel about the election results!
