ON THE EVE OF Nov 3, 2020 Presidential Election

-Evangelicals are seemly having a change of heart

 

During the 2016 Presidential Election a considerable number of the evangelicals strongly disapproved of Trump’s behavior but could not imagine voting for someone who would be a Democrat. Therefore, an expression was concocted: “The lesser of two evils”. As they looked toward the Democratic Party platform headed by Hillary Clinton, and its position on things such as:

.Abortion and LGBTQ Rights

 

The consensus was enough to render candidate Trump as the lesser of the two evils

 

According one of the popular evangelicals, Wayne Grudem, author and seminary professor, conceded in The Christian Post that candidate Trump was:

>Egotistical

>Bombastic and

> Brash

 

Albeit, that concluded consensus fact did exist, the thought of consciousness was, yes, such a plight is evident-but that he represented an “unusual opportunity” to defeat:

>Pro-Abortion

>Pro-Gender-confusion

>Anti-religious liberty

>Tax and spend

>Big Government liberalism uniquely associated with Hillary Clinton

 

However, now at this juncture, on the eve of the Nov 2020 election-there is an inadvertent concern over Trump’s perceived exploitation of Christianity. This has become a bone of contention, and is enough for a paradigm shift to change the minds of some evangelicals.

 

In addition, some theologians have argued that the appropriate Christianity for teaching purposes is contrary to the Southern Methodist University edits and beliefs. Factually speaking, one of the Southern Methodist Officials wrote an article for the paper titled” “Should we call Donald Trump ‘antichrist’?” The article further stated, that policies is being done that become a culture-infecting spread of the gangrene of sinful –exploitation of boasting and strife-stirring.

 

Even from a conservative evangelical perspective the so-called gains of Trump’s presidency are increasingly being weighed against the losses incurred. Also the editor of Christianity Today, wrote an article calling for Trump to be remove from office, his comments, “If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come”

 

As we now face the Nov 2020 election, the school of thought is that most conservative evangelicals will still vote for Trump. However, that being said, a significant group will not, and that minority group  have concluded he is, in fact, the worse of the two evils this time, and they will either not vote for Trump, and shall consider a vote for a candidate, not a Republican, perhaps for the first time ever in their lives, case and point Cindy Mc Cain the wife of the late Senator John Mc Cain has thrown her support toward the other political party
