This style rebuttal would carry more weight (IMHO) if it did not come from a political viewpoint (not necessarily you specifically) that accepts and promotes killing of children in the womb - homosexuality - a President having sex in the White House while his wife slept upstairs - a President that swam nude in front of female Secret Service Agents and pawed little girls on national TV - . Do any of those facts reflect the fruit of the spirit you expose?"no! You don't unnerstand!" That's the Trump supporters response.
"You liberals just don't get it." We've seen the pattern of it for ever...and he says it loud. But "We" are attacking him. From the very very first indiscretion and all the dozens since.
All of it is true.
None of that is false.
It gets repeated ad nasueum because you folks keep being surprised that we are critical of trump.
It's because he has done awful things.
You're incredulous that people don't like him for doing those things. We're incredulous that people try to twist reality and his own words to pretend these events don't speak to who he is.
Seriously, I've asked this question half a dozen times and nobody has ever said one word in response:
What fruits of the spirit do we see coming from trump? Which ONE? Any? Forebearance? He CELEBRATES the opposite of that.
Kindness? He advocates for hte opposite.
Faithfulness?
Gentleness? Nah
Self-Control? I can't imagine less in control.
Goodness? Depends on how vague you're willing to be.
Love? Does his fidelity record reflect positively on this or negatively?
Joy? The only time I see him smile is when he's insulting someone or ...dancing...or MAAAYBE sometimes soaking in the adoration and worship of his particularly strong fans.
To claim a higher moral ground (IMHO) - you actually have to have a higher moral ground.
