I have friends and family that range all over the political spectrum so I see a variety of political posts about all types of issues and supporting several different candidates, and yet they all seem to have one thing in common. The idea which permeates all political posts is, “my way is the only right way.” I can’t tell you how many posts I have seen that, once you break them down, do very little to support the person’s belief as much as they do attempt to demonize the beliefs of the opposition. It is as though proving other people wrong automatically proves you right; it doesn’t. It seems like everyone has a sort of doomsday mentality when it comes to the politics right now as if the next elected official (especially the president) is going to make or break the world we live in. The calls I often see among Christians typically resonate the idea: if we don’t show up to vote and win this election, our beliefs and our morals will be lost forever.
