1. Not to stretch a point too thinly, but I must admit that I generally look for historical....and religious....connections between contemporary events, and those other sorts.
And today being Sunday and all, and the prominent event is the loss of our American birthright, the comparison that stands out is an earlier choice between spirituality and materialism.
2. While one candidate promised, and was well on his way to accomplishing, returning America to both its former greatness, and its heritage, the other was deeply entrenched in enriching himself.
"The troubling reason why Biden is so soft on China
In 2013, then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flew aboard Air Force Two to China. Less than two weeks later, Hunter Bidenās firm inked a $1ābillion private equity deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese governmentās Bank of China. The deal was later expanded to $1.5ābillion. In short, the Chinese government funded a business that it co-owned along with the son of a sitting vice president."

3. Genesis Ch 25
29 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
Perhaps not a pottage of lentiles.....maybe Peking Duck.
4. According to Dennis Prager, writing in "The Rational Bible," the commentary does not depict Esau as a bad person, but suggests only that he has other interests, and is unworthy of, and uninterested in, carrying on the Abrahamic monotheistic tradition. In fact, Isaac favored Esau, and liked that he was a hunter who brought home the baconā¦.well, meat. Actually the kosher rules didnāt apply at the time, so he could have brought baconā¦.
5. The Bible tell one story, allegory, but history tells this one: no society nor civilization lasts forever.
