Good things Trump: 2024 General Election Campaign

[Josh]

So this thread is a thread for promoting Trump's 2024 campaign? And it is protected from criticism? On a Mennonite site?

Well, "Mennonite" includes people who are not aloof from politics, such as my brethren (or cousins, I should say) in the Ohio Conference.

It does seem nice to confine praise for Trump's campaign to a single thread instead of talk either for or against Trump infesting every other thread on MN.

So this is the place to say things like, "all praise and Glory to Donald Trump, his enemies are our enemies, his kingdom is our kingdom, only he can save us - may he be exalted and may his horn be raised".

Instead of doing that in every thread.

Or perhaps, it could be used to say specific things about Donald Trump himself that are actually good and actually true? And perhaps, instead of simply promoting campaign materials, people could say, in their own words, what they like about him and how they know that it is true of him? So that some level of actually thinking is involved rather than turning this into a direct dump for campaigns?

And perhaps "good things" threads should not be used to say bad things about other people, insisting that those claims not be contradicted?

I had no desire to post here, but this visit deserves it.

I agree. That's a good thing.

Yes, I wish Christians (including some Anabaptists) would stop doing this. But they aren’t very interested in listening to me.

Instead of doing that in every thread.

It would be an improvement, particularly for people who aren’t Anabaptists and feel it’s consistent to post about such things with their faith, as we do have a few such people here.

Yes, all of that sounds like a good idea.

A good thing was that Donald Trump kept the nation out of wars and I suspect other nation's wars as well.

Certainly. All those that said he would get us into a war were wrong.

I don't think to appreciate his work is deserving of what Boot is implying supporters are doing and the left had put his supporters in the position of defending him.

There are many things I don't appreciate about Donald Trump. I do not appreciate his big mouth bluster and his bully like tactics. However it was his brash, unpredictable leadership that kept Putin and other evil leaders at bay. He wasn't in China's back pocket and he didn't embolden Putin's attack of death and destruction in Ukraine.

And even though I don't appreciate many of Trump's tactics, I do appreciate his pro-life stance, his keeping the nation out of war, his keeping illegal human and sex trafficking low at our southern border. Stereotyping and denigrating many of Trump's supporters who are pro-life and anti human trafficking as some sort of cult, is surprising. It is true that a very small percentage of Trump supporters did act out horribly on Jan. 6, which was unconscionable, but there are more who were appalled at the actions on Jan. 6. Yet they are categorized as belonging to a cult that bows down to Donald Trump, when that is so far from the truth.

And a few other good things we had during the Trump administration. We had 1.4 % inflation, energy independence, record low gas and grocery prices, rebuilt military, no supply chain issues, no wars, low illegals invading our borders, low housing costs, etc. How things have changed.

This isn't the only thread explicitly designated an "all-hail Trump" thread.

I thought this thread was for the 2024 General Election though… has it even started? I am puzzled of any good things to say about the 2024 General for either candidate.

So pointing out that there is a past leader that DOES NOT promote brutally killing babies up until birth, didn’t embolden an evil dictator to move into a country causing horrendous death and destruction, who curbed human and sex trafficking, is somehow “hailing” a person? How sad. But I get it. If you aren't trashing the former president, you are "hailing" him.
