I would call it misdirected anger and the electorate is stupid because sadly we now live in a country where it's ‘me’ first, country last. Where our moral compass that is defined in the Old Testament has been rinsed down the proverbial drain with the bath water in lieu of self gratification through false doctrine of Christ crucified instead of self crucified.
When Yah’shua said to pick up ones cross and follow him, he wasn't talking about some carnal spoken phrase of one just saying ‘I believe’. He was speaking of one turning back to the ways of his Father by casting off man made religious dogma that added extra burdens to the people in order to keep them in bondage by excluding them from participating in Temple services. Paul said it best about what was nailed to the cross when Yah’shua died when he said in Ephesians 2
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments in ""(G1378)
G1378 dogma
dog’-mah
a law (civil, ceremonial or ecclesiastical)
H1881 dath
dawth
a royal edict or statute
Yah’s instructions are divine, they are not dogma and thus the hypocrisy of religious dogma that says the law came to abolish itself for a select group of people called the new church. Total hypocrisy! and Total heresy! The mere fact that the majority a large sect of Christendom saw fit to elect an unqualified miscreant shows the core problem of man's religious dogma. Yes, YHVH did send us a powerful message. Sadly the system is so corrupt that it is likely to repeat itself in 2012.
Here endeth the lesson on why it is "SO IMPORTANT" to take the Greek words of the 1st century writings back to the LXXC in order to get a proper interpretation of what was being said. From the LXXC we can then get the words back to their original Hebrew from which the Greek was translated/transliterated from.
“I would call it misdirected anger and the electorate is stupid because sadly we now live in a country where it’s ‘me’ first, country last.”

I agree on that point, but you pretty much left me in the dust on the biblical interpretations.
While I was the senior warden at my very old (1832) but
small Episcopal church in rural Tennessee, I was never immersed in biblical interpretation.
Sadly, it seems that the Episcopal church has fallen into Hell, and taken over by radical homosexuals, and Marxist, which means it is no longer a church of Christ or God.
