Christian, have you repented for voting for Trump, yet?

[Theodiskaz]

The Christians who voted for Trump were operating in God's will. My question is was it God's perfect will or His permissive will? And would that answer be different depending on the individual Christian?

I put the fault only on the people who made it so Trump would become the Republican candidate. I think the nation did the right thing voting in Trump over Hilary. When you're between a rock and a hard place, it's really hard to choose.

 

[Left]

Don't get me wrong, I really like Trump, but I didn't vote. Had it come down to being Cruz vs. Hilary where Cruz had a real chance of winning, I would have gone to the voting booth.

I wanted Rand Paul!

I'm not sure why anyone would need to repent for voting for President Trump?
tulc(doesn't think voting for the wrong candidate is actually a sin)

 

[Left]

I still kind of really like Trump, and feel he does some things, not all, right, but at the time of voting, I held back from voting after seeing that name he called Hilary in one of the debates.

I couldn't bring myself to vote in the last election.
Buyer's remorse is not a sin.

 

[Sketcher]

Being as a vote for anyone other than Trump would have helped Hillary Clinton win, I don't think voting for Trump is something to repent for. By the same token, there are conservative friends of mine who voted for Hillary Clinton out of distaste for Trump, which I can understand and don't fault them for. When the two candidates are easily the worst candidates Americans have had to pick between in many years, if not ever, I believe that no matter who they voted for, they deserve a measure of grace. I'm not going to shame somebody for eating human waste if the only alternative was eating an equal amount of dog waste.

Seeing as how the alternative who wanted to be allowed to rip a baby out of the mother's womb while she is giving birth and kill it, I felt that Trump was the better of two BAD choices.

What I do have is a problem with people that didn't vote, but were able to, and then complain about the results afterwards.

And that includes the hundreds/thousands of people that have continued to protest against Trump for almost anything he has said, including his condemnation of the white supremacists when the other side said he did not go far enough to denounce them.

My vote wouldn't have mattered. I live in small town Illinois and although my town went Republican, the state overwhelmingly went Democrat because of Chicago and the surrounding areas.

I should have done more to get Cruz into office, but my own efforts wouldn't have been enough.

What small town in Illinois? I was born in Rockford, and, while I did a lot of growing up and living in Chicago, I know that Rockford is VERY conservative.

You sure you don't have it backwards?
Some say if you DO vote you don't have a right to complain because you endorsed the system's results by participating with a vote.

I voted for Trump, though I certainly would have preferred someone more moderate and not anti-immigrant like Kasich. I felt like it was necessary to vote Trump so that Hillary, who would have been so much worse for America, wouldn’t achieve the presidency. Since I voted with my conscience, there isn’t any need to repent.

Me too. The system is so corrupt I wasn't going to participate, but I watched Trump personally purchase the CEO position of the best government money can buy, so I knew he alone had a chance of defying the system. Turns out he's providing cover for all the good guys to come out of the woodwork.
States have claimed back their sovereignty from the corporation doing business as "The U.S.A." by filing nation state status with The International Court of The Hague. That gave them legal authority to start arresting pedophiles and international bankers that own the U.S.A. corporation.

Millions of people who think that their vote doesn't matter is what makes a difference in elections.

What about the million that know their vote doesn't count?

HONK! But thanks for playing. No, if a person doesn't vote, then that means that he/she doesn't care enough about the state of the country to take the few minutes it requires to go to a polling place, go through verification, then go into the voting booth. It is not an onerous task.

If you can't take that much time out of your day to vote, then you shouldn't complain, either.

Personally, I voted. I can complain about Trump, and I do!

Prove to me that ANY vote doesn't count, and the person casting it knows it.

I'm a registered voter and could have easily voted.
I chose not to. I find Trump embarrassing and inexperienced. I find Hillary unethical and repellent.
I'll vote or not vote and complain or not complain as I feel.
If someone doesn't like it, oh well...must suck for them.
