A well thought out analysis of Mormonism's demagogue, one of the many latter day Antichrists' (Trump). True worshippers of Jesus Christ follow His law of Love and take upon them His name not some false Messiah whom the conservatives hail as their saviour , Trump, another father of lies

I wonder if there might be any change in this analysis since it was written.

I think that for many, Trump's mannerisms aren't liked. But his policies (for the most part) have been liked and appreciated. In the intervening two years, more and more people are waking up to the criminal underpinnings of much of our government policies that are shaped by the current administration. Scores of government employees working to support this are not indicative of trust, but likely (I hope) to be "the price that's paid to keep a job". That it works as it does should be indicative of a need to not trust the government, but to utilize it for the function it should be limited to - providing the common defense, promote the general welfare, supporting the constitutional aspects of our government (and yes, even protecting our constitutional rights, NOT attacking or undermining them!!!)

Trump was seen as a person to fight against those efforts and activities that sought to undermine our rights and freedoms. In reality, too many people are wiling to let OTHERS do the fighting for them.

And that is seen in the church as well, with the levels of apathy and needing to be commanded in all things (slothful servants notwithsanding).

People should wake up to the reality that we have a real spiritual battle on our hands, and many within the church and country are expecting our spiritual and politically (s)elected leaders to fight on our behalf. This requires all people to assist, get informed and get involved.
