The jellied masses of the left should be grateful to Donald Trump. He has given people of principle on the right a hope that we can move forward without violence. We are more than reluctant to resort to extreme measures for a number of reasons.
We know enough about history to know that the kind of destruction and death caused by civil war and wide scale insurrection is far worse than we can imagine. Once the restraints are broken atrocities and mayhem multiply. When a neighbor you have known for years turns on you it becomes dangerous to be alive. The ones who suffer the most are the innocent.
We know enough about our emotional and mental health to know that killing has a price even for the survivors. Talk to someone who has been in combat. It isn’t like the movies where you shrug you shoulders and move on. It destroys something in you.
We have a spiritual commitment that holds us back. This is probably the strongest of all but don’t assume that it does not have a limit.
So be glad that we have more hope than we did a year ago.
Keep your doors locked, you eyes open and your prayer life on high.
