Honestly, I never thought the left would be so unhinged and downright violent if/when they lost the election.
This has been really eye opening..
“This has been really eye opening..”
Glad to hear it. It’s time to realize they mean it. They hate us. They want us enslaved or dead and they don’t care which one they get.
We need to take them seriously and plan accordingly.

It’s their evolutionary thinking that on one hand allows for the dehumanization of the majority of Americans to the level of grunting hominids while on the other allows them to imagine their own superiority and elite right to power—to rule, dominate, and possess. In this light, when socially conservative ‘hominids’ voted Trump into office, in the bulging eyes of elitists we had committed a coup that in effect, ‘stole’ the Ring of Power away from them. Now like the maddened, soul-dead Gollum they accuse us day in and day out of being “thieves! thieves! miserable thieves!” and conspire and salivate over the vengeance they seek.
Psalms and Proverbs has much to teach us with respect to the obvious madness possessing Leftist and rabid anti-Trump ‘Gollums’ and its underlying cause: idolatry of self.
As a whole, Scripture combines pride with covetousness, greed, malice, hatred, and jealousy into a single concept – envy (ressentiment) – that is a manifestation of idolatry of self issuing in hatred of and rage against the Holy God and one's brother, which means that there can be no charity whatsoever where there is envy and hatred in one's heart.
Ressentiment or malignant envy is the passion that causes evil. It is the father of death,
"... the first entrance for sin, the root of wickedness, the birth of sorrow, the mother of misfortune, the basis of disobedience, the beginning of shame. Envy banishes us from paradise...Envy made Joseph a slave. Envy is the death-dealing sting, the hidden weapon, the sickness of nature, the bitter poison, the self-willed emaciation, the bitter dart, the nail of the soul, the fire in the heart, the flame burning on the inside..." (Life of Moses, Gregory of Nyssa, quoted in Death by Envy, Fr. George R.A. Aquaro, p. 74)
In his first edition dictionary, "The American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828" Noah Webster defines envy as,
"...pain, uneasiness, mortification or discontent excited by the sight of another's superiority (often spiritual) or success, accompanied by some degree of hatred or malignity, often or usually with a desire or an effort to depreciate the person, and with pleasure at seeing him depressed; malice, malignity, invidiousness, ill will.”
According to Webster, malice is,"...extreme enmity of heart; malevolence; a disposition to injure others...from mere personal gratification or from a spirit of revenge.”
Malice is inseparable from the following:
1. Malevolence: having an evil disposition towards another or others; wishing evil to others...a malevolent heart rejoices in the misfortune of others
2. Malign: to regard with envy or malice; to treat with extreme enmity; to injure maliciously
3. Malignant: malicious; having extreme malevolence; bitter enmity; malice
We’re not dealing with a purely political problem but rather a problem of evil coming to fullness.
