... Actually a demon

Sad, but a lot of people feel that way.

"There’s no absence of spiritual warfare talk from Christians these days. But listen closely to it and you’ll notice something: Rarely is this language of warfare directed toward evil spirits. Instead, it’s usually employed to describe ideological opposition toward fellow human beings. “This is spiritual warfare!” we hear as the lead-in to a call to arms about some political or social stance. But this way of thinking about spiritual warfare reveals a significant disenchantment with the world of the Bible.

Moreover, our conflation of spiritual war with culture war communicates the exact opposite of the message of the Bible, both in terms of who our enemies are and how to wage the battle. The apostle Paul told us that “we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places” (Eph. 6:12, ESV throughout)."

this exact sentiment is the basis of why i am confused towards the trump situation

he is a dirty billionaire fraudster con artist. He is the embodiment of the elite 1%. He is getting taken down publicly. Everyone should be dancing in the streets (only about 55% of the people are), he is a supposed ruler and the authority. he is trying to put himself as an idol before god! He is literally the present darkness. he is a force of evil in a heavenly place. Everyone should be stoked this billionaire is going to jail and is losing all his businesses because he defrauded people. like hello?

15 years ago everyone was against the 1% but somewhere along the way the propaganda has confused some people into thinking that waking up is a bad thing and everyone should just say sleeping while billionaires cuck us daily. like wtf is wrong with people.

now obviously I don't know anyone on this forum at a personal level so I can't say I hate anyone and nor should I for the exact same reasoning you put in this post. We are the plebs we are all on the same team so naturally although I know there is shit talking about restless debate it doesnt mean I would wish harm upon anyone or truly think anyone is a demon. Spread peace and love
