In the past few weeks I have had conversations with African-American Democrats that were an absolute waste of my time. I have known these individuals long enough that they know I am a Trump supporter and I do my research, particularly when it comes to faith and politics. These individuals know that I am not a news watcher.
With most of the individuals I have tried to share biblical facts instead of political opinions. I have tried to remind the person that as Christians the Bible teaches that we are supposed to accept the teaching that both abortion and homosexuality are wrong and thus we cannot support politicians that do. These individuals respond by talking about President Trump’s history of adultery and the allegations of sexual misconduct- allegations that have been proved to be false. If I suggest that the Bible instructs us to pray for those in leadership positions, they change the subject.
Facts do not matter with these die-hard, anti-Trump, liberal media watching individuals. Their arguments have been the same for two years now and will continue because the liberal media outlets recycle the same stories, each one speaking as if they all are reading from the same script.
Nothing mattered to any of the individuals I spoke with because they have been programmed, both politically and in their church, to hate President Trump. Because they have rejected hearing the truth I have decided to stop trying to share the truth with them. Just like those who want to learn more about Yeshua, if they ask I will tell but I will no longer waste my time on someone who will let me speak and hear the opposite.
