I was listening to Dennis Prager the other day, and he got me thinking. As many know, Dennis is a Jew and therefore has an appreciation for the OT and the war against idol worship. For those that don't know, idols are anything that elevate themselves over the place of God.
Then he mentioned Trump and the Left hatred toward him. He said that he thinks he understands the hatred because Trump is an idol basher. For example, before Trump the media was on a pedestal. Although everyone could see their bias against conservatives and their adoration for Progressives, no one called them on it. They all just smiled and played nice and pretended that the press was not actively trying to help only one party win power. However, Trump ended all that as he began to fight back and call them out for their open bias, thus he smashed an idol of society.
Trump also has done this with academia. Those in higher education were on a similar pedestal as those in the press. Those in higher education were soooo much more smarter than those who were not. Naturally, since they are all Left wing that meant that only the intelligent are also Left wing. Funny thing, they don't use their intellect to fight back on college campus' around the country. No, no, they institute "safe zones" where people are not allowed to "offend" others by presenting opposing views of thought. Also, if you are a conservative, you are often not allowed to speak at a university on the grounds of "offending" people. Again, Trump calls them out and smashes yet another idol.
And there lies the rub. Is Trump religious? Probably not, but he unknowingly is smashing secular humanist idols on a daily basis. Currently he is smashing the idol of the US Federal bureaucracy. No, the DOJ and FBI, among other institutions in the Swamp, are not unbiased organizations that treat us all the same under the law. That much we are learning daily as we watch seditious frauds like Strzok give open testimony on the Trump investigation.
