The Loud Few

When I read in the paper – " the silent majority are just dying to speak up" – I thought how confused they are.  The Silent Majority doesn't speak up.  They don't go in parades that would show their sides. They are silent.

Here is the definition of the Silent Majority.

"The silent majority is an unspecified large group of people in a country or group who do not express their opinions publicly."

 

When you are in a Trump train of vehicles – you have stepped out of the silent majority and have chosen a side.  

 

I am confused.

By how so many self proclaimed conservative religious folk  (FALC and Old Apostolic )are supporting Trump.

I cannot see how they can overlook so much about him.

I feel that who he is, what he stands for is at odds with their principles.

Yet, maybe their principles are now showing.

 

Their religious values don't seem to meld with his character – or do they?

 

When the book and the bird disagree – believe the bird or  

Birds of a feather flock together.

 

Something between the two seem to match – it may be deeper than just the outer words.

The systems they both use?

I truly am confused by how vehemently they have thrown their support for him.

 

I also wondered if politics and religion have ever been so closely aligned or in bed together?

I don't recall the actual political leaning of my old religion.  If it had one, I wasn't aware.

Do religions pick candidates?

Or do most churches remain silent.

 

Again, the character of the man – and the character of the folks within these strict religions has to match.

Or, what are you drawn to when you vote?

Do you vote for a person's character?

Is it possible not to have your character involved in being president?

Or more, does character matter in your religions?

In your partners, and friends?

When does character matter?

I have more questions and puzzlements with the strict religions in our area who are so loud about Trump.

I just truly don't get it.

And, then I do.

 

I do understand the juxtaposition, the sleight of hands, the facade and the truth.  My experience of what I thought the church was and what it turned out to be, was completely the opposite.

It was empty of the morals and values I believed were there.

 

A part of me is still fighting for the church.

For it to have deep rooted morals and values, to have humanity at its core.  

And yet,  many of you are showing me, affirming my experience, that the character of the church matches Trump.

 

To have him the presidential candidate –  of the strictest religions up here boggles my mind.

He has become even bigger than the head of the church.

Or so it looks to me, from the outside.

 

It is weird to say the least.

"When someone shows you who they are, Believe them the first time." Dr. Maya Angelou

Harder than believing who Donald Trump is, IS believing who the strict religious people are who are aligned with him.  Who are these people really?

Again, this is an old religion of mine.

One that failed me and still I was wanting more from them.

More value, more morals, more character… more wisdom and intellect and kindness. More humanity and wanting more for everyone – Equality and choices and women's rights etc…when I know, this isn't what their religion is about.

Which is why they match.

Donald Trump is the political representation that equals their religion.

They are not the silent majority; but the loud few.

    When I look around our community, I continually have to tell myself to keep positive. You definitely help me. Rebuking the use of masks, supporting a man who sees humanity in $$ signs, usurping the symbol of the American flag like anyone who doesn’t think like them isn’t American…..it goes on and on. My head and heart are comforted, reassured, when I realize our community has plenty of people who quietly reject that philosophy. Let’s hope the real silent majority will help correct our path this November.

    Thank you for your words and your wisdom and calm. We can each influence those we love by our examples. And, they may some day look back and see more clearly where they were off.

    This sure rang a bell for me. I continually ask myself how people can align with our president? How can they pretend to be God fearing, moral Christians and justify the president’s actions, past and present? This is a facade for sure because you can’t believe in taking care of your neighbors as you would yourself, you can’t treat women the way he does without allowing your daughters, sisters or wives be put in the same abusive position. He uses the war path and hatred to incite and cause fear, yet the people still continue to vote for him because of one issue….abortion. None of these same people will raise up these children when they are born, but rather they put them in dangerous family situations, inadequate shelter, food and clothing situations and on top of that demean the mothers and the children themselves for being a social drain on the world. This double standard of Trump reflects upon his followers. If his followers are poor and uneducated they hate the entitled except for him and believe somehow he speaks for them. If his followers are rich and elite, they praise him because of the money they keep extorting from all the regular tax payers in the US. If the are religious and fight for the unborn child, they look with disdain on the woman who cannot take care of herself and her children and call her a welfare leech, her children are held back in education, live in substandard housing and have substandard diets and clothing. No medical care is granted to these unborn children once they come into our society, none for their parents either. The righteous need to get their act together and support all the social programs that could help deter unwanted pregnancies (not eliminate birth control) and to step up to the plate and not hide away in their churches and behind their politics. It appears that which the religious spew is not what actions they take….they take the lead from the unscrupulous men and women who are tearing our country apart, which is totally irrational. He also indoctrinates the white supremacists to wipe out anyone who is not born with white skin. I have to believe there will be enough people voting to end this humiliation and destruction via our government and clear out the real demons in Washington. I pray daily for the insanity to end in November. Joanie

    Thanks Joan for all your thoughts. You are right on! And, even articulated this clearer than I. It is a puzzle, but I hope one that will create a lesson and clarity soon.
    I too hope that November is the point where we can start to rebalance.
