Political Iconoclasm on the Wrong Side of the Trump Cult

A zealous, passionate Trump supporter recently declared to me if I do not support Donald Trump, I am on the wrong side.

I am certainly on Trump's wrong side. I am certainly on the wrong side of the Trump Cult.

Trump 2016 Campaign staffers recently won a court case against Donald Trump, voiding their Non-Disclosure Agreements. I congratulate them on winning their court case. I stand with any Trump 2016 Campaign staffers and all Donald Trump supporters and Campaign staffers leaving Trump.

Some could claim I am a saboteur. Some would claim I am an obstructionist. I prefer the term, political Iconoclast.

I do not look to Politics & Government to save me. I do not look to Politics & Government to solve my problems. I do not look to Politics & Government to find my identity. Politics & Government are only merely a means to an end.

I do not place my faith in Politics & Government. I do not place my faith in politicians, political leaders, and government officials. I do not place my faith in Postmodernism, modernity, and society. I do not place my faith in democracy. I do not place my faith in bureaucracy. I do not place my faith in the celebrity culture. I do not place my faith in science. I do not place my faith in graven images, idols, or cults.

Donald Trump turned into an idol. The MAGA Trumpers turned into iconodules and iconolaters. Donald Trump is one of the political elites and now a member of the Republican Party Establishment. The Trump MAGA Republican Party politicians who prostrate themselves and grovel before Donald Trump turned into political iconodules and political iconolaters. These America First or Country First conservatives turned into dyed-in-the-wool Trump First indentured servants.

I have only one God. My God is Yahweh, the Lord, Jehovah, God of the Holy Bible. The Near Eastern Hebraic Christian God is my rock, my foundation. The Near Eastern Hebraic Christian God is my redemption, deliverance, and salvation. He is the source of my identity. He is the Bread of Life and the Living Waters, the Light and Life of the World. Yahweh, Jehovah, the Near Eastern Hebraic Christian God is the Supreme Sovereign and divine Creator of the vast expanse of the Universe and all Creation.

A zealous, passionate Trump supporter recently expressed to me he would choose Donald Trump over God, Allah, or Buddha. Anybody who wants to be with Donald Trump could be with Trump. That's their decision. But, my vote is for God, the Almighty, our divine Creator first and foremost before anybody else and before anything else in the Universe. I would not find myself against God and would not find myself fighting against God.

My rights and liberty are not derived from government and political institutions. I do not derive my rights and liberty from politicians and candidates for elected office. My rights and liberty are not derived from bureaucrats and government officials. My rights and liberty are not derived from anybody else. I do not derive my rights and liberty from Postmodernism and modernity. My rights and liberty are not derived from democracy and society.

I hold these truths to be self-evident. We are a divine Creation, created in the image of God. We are endowed by God, the divine Creator, with certain unalienable rights. These rights include life, liberty, property, individuality, and the pursuit of happiness. Government is instituted of God among the people to secure these, our God-given unalienable rights.

We are divine. We are divine beings of divine origin with a divine identity. We were each born and created with a unique set of skills, abilities, aptitudes, gifts, and talents. We are each here on earth to discover, develop, refine, utilize, and optimize our unique sets of skills, abilities, aptitudes, gifts, and talents to bless and benefit humanity.

I am on Trump's wrong side. I am with Yahweh, the Lord, Jehovah, God of the Holy Bible. I am on the wrong side of the Trump Cult. I am with the Near Eastern Hebraic Christian God. I am a political Iconoclast. I know who I look to for peace. I know who I look to for fulfillment. I know who I look to for redemption, deliverance, and salvation.

"Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;

He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible, swift sword.

His truth is marching on....

"He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;

He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat.

Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant, my feet!...

"In the beauty of the lilies, Christ was born across the sea,

with a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me.

As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free,

While God is marching on"

(Julia Ward Howe, The Battle Hymn of the Republic, 1861).
