Well what do you think we are doing????
Delusion is flying thick and heavy through the air, fascism and dictatorship are reaching new levels in many countries. There is change in the air, now make sure you choose the right path. Trump himself may not be the anti-christ, but his cabinet picks aren't making him look any better.
Are you just blind? Insane? A true believing evangelical christian who can't wait to slam the hammer on some illegals and muslims? Not saying that is guaranteed to happen with Trump, but that is his rhetoric and the beliefs of a good portion of his cabinet.
Appointing Elon Musk? Pure PR move to gain support (heeeey, it might not be so bad they got Muskie on board!) Pffft.
