What frustrates me is this is going to back up my parents end times bs. Wars and diseases and natural disasters. The Bible foretold it!

And you fucking voted for all of it. Is it really a prophecy if the followers push for it all to happen?

My brother asked me if I was better off 4 years ago right before the election. I pointed out the USA had one of the best recoveries after the pandemic lock downs and asked what he think Trump would have done different. He didn’t answer. Ignoring that 4 years ago we were filling the impacts of Trumps government, not Bidens, I have to ask if he’s better off now than he was almost 4 months ago. I’m betting the honest answer would be no.
