Amen to this. For myself, both sides have their pros and cons. I pick the best ones from each side which align closest to the Bible.Which seems like quintessential tribalism. To overlook evidence and facts in preference to a political narrative. It is one of the most counterproductive elements this Trumpism has exacerbated in America. We forgot that we can disagree without being enemies. We Americans are one team of citizens and immigrants. No matter how hard people want to harden their hearts and divide themselves.
Misplaced anger and blame can be rectified by choice. Each of us chooses denial or truth. My experiences with denial force me to deal with truth, regardless of consequences. Truth is liberating and sets you free. Denial is a vicious cycle of anger, bitterness and unhappiness. It is baffling and cunning. I wish you well.
My ideologies try to align with Christ, and not a party. For convenience, these ideologies are color-coded by party traditions: Left, Center, Right
Pro-life from womb to tomb (Psalm 139:13-16, Jeremiah 1:5, Exodus 20:13), unless both mother and baby are at risk
Environmental conservation (Genesis 2:15, Isaiah 24:4-6, Jeremiah 2:7)
Against gender transformation (Genesis 1:28, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Against AK-47s but okay with hunters (Ecclesiastes 9:18, Matthew 26:52-54, Romans 12:19, Genesis 27:3-5)
For affordable healthcare (3 John 3:12, Matthew 9:12, Sirach 38:1-15)
For security screened, legal immigration or asylum (Leviticus 19:33-34, Philippians 3:20, 1 Peter 2:13-17)
Against woke and/or violent entertainment, but for warning labels on TV shows and books (Philippians 4:8, Psalm 11:5, Psalm 101:3, Acts 20:31)
