To all who are in pain: Please take care of yourselves.

7. My situation is a long story. I live in a rural red area, so there are only a few members of my

church who share my political views. However, they are there. We've discussed that crazy statement and we agreed that it did sound like he was talking to Christians who rarely vote. We've never been those who choose to ignore politics, but we know Christians like that. In spite of the rise of the Christian Right, there are a surprising number of regular church attenders who don't regularly vote.

Even if he really meant that the way it sounded, he doesn't have the support to pull off that transformation. Trump didn't win in a landslide. I just hate knowing that people are suffering due to thinking that is a possibility. We got through his first term, and we will get through this one. I hope we can all hold on to that and not let the "what ifs" steal our joy. Life is hard enough without that.
