Indifference To The Assassination Attempt
By: Slow to Write Topic: Politicsthought the assassination attempt would be a watershed moment. But instead, it looks like it’ll be remembered as just one of the many crazy events from the 2024 presidential election.
Considering what would probably be happening in America now if Trump’s head was positioned differently, it’s disturbing that people have moved on so quickly.
If Trump’s re-election campaign came to a violent end, I think America would be suffering ongoing, political violence right now. So when God spared Donald Trump’s life, he was sparing America.
Christians in America have been praying for Donald Trump and the country. On Saturday, God answered our prayers. Which makes the indifferent reactions to the shooting even worse.
By downplaying the seriousness of the shooting, some people are downplaying the grace and providence of God. This past week has revealed another layer of depravity in America. Not only were some people downplaying or denying the shooting, but some people were unashamed to say on social media they were disappointed the assassination attempt was unsuccessful.
If last Saturday didn’t bring Americans together like assassination attempts in the past, I don’t know what could. Also, in the middle of this, the Republican Party has removed their support for a federal abortion ban and their opposition to gay “marriage” from their platform.
So despite the outcome of the election, America is on an abominable path that will end with judgment and destruction. So if I’m being honest, it could be that America is broken beyond repair.
Maybe it’s impossible that America will survive this level of depravity. However, it seemed impossible that Donald Trump would survive the assassination attempt. By the grace of God, he did. So maybe, by the grace of God, America will survive this too.
Maybe that’s impossible. But with God, all things are possible.
