A FALSE GOD
“You shall have no other gods before Me.” – Exodus 20:3
- Why do the Democrats hate President Trump so much?
- Why do they hate Elon Musk and DOGE?
Because Democrats are angry with Donald Trump for destroying their god — government.
Everyone worships something. God designed us to worship. We can’t decide not to worship. We can only decide WHAT to worship.
People who don’t believe in God know that society needs a ruling power that can execute justice and exercise benevolence to its citizens. So they unwittingly put their trust and allegiance in human government. Some even make government an idol. Therefore, any cut in the government workforce or spending is seen as a threat to their idol.
Adrian Rogers said, “An idol is anything that we love more, fear more, trust more or serve more than Almighty God.”
Idolatry is the greatest sin because it transgresses the greatest Commandment—“Love the Lord, your God, with all of your heart, mind, soul and strength.” (Deuteronomy 6:5)
The federal government is $36 trillion in debt. In the Bible, the nations worshipped the god of mammon (wealth). Think about it; money is the idol that motivates the drug and alcohol industry. Money is the motivation for pornographers and the gambling industry. Money is also the mother’s milk of politics and politics is the worship of power. The Democrats see DOGE as a threat to their power. That is why they hate and demonize Elon Musk.
In Judges 6:27-30, we read about Gideon who tore down the altar of Baal and the Asherah pole next to it. The next day the idol worshippers figured out that Gideon was responsible and they wanted to kill him. He had disrupted their normal way of worship.
This explains why New Mexico Rep. Melanie Stansbury held up a sign that read, “This is NOT normal” when Trump entered the House chamber. To Democrats, normal is when government continues to grow and spend millions and billions of dollars on things like “Microbiome mediated effects of gender affirming hormone therapy in mice.”
Psalm 135:18 says that we become like the thing we worship. Swifties are devoted fans who dress like their idol, Taylor Swift. They want to become like their idol. Sports fans wear their favorite athlete’s jersey to identify with their idol. They can become so passionate that they will despise their opponents. Likewise, people who worship a political party will despise the opposing party. Especially when the opposition is tearing down their idol, like DOGE.
My cartoon above shows that the Democrats have been shrunk by Trump’s policies. And their clownish resistance during Trump’s speech before a joint session of Congress Tuesday night made them look small.
So how should Christ-followers respond to people who trust in government more than God? Well, we should learn from the Apostle Paul when he spoke to a crowd of idol worshippers in Athens in Acts 17. Tell them about the One True God who created everything and is sovereign over the affairs of humans.
Paul said in Acts 17:26-27, “From one man he (God) made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. 27 God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.”
“This God has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man (Jesus) whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” – Acts 17:31.
There were 3 responses to Paul when he said this. 1. Some laughed and mocked him. 2. Others said they wanted to hear more about this later. 3. And some believed. (verses 32-33).
Pray for people who trust in government more than God. You never know but you may be the one to lead them away from idol worship and to the truth.
The symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) were prevalent during President Trump’s speech to Congress.
Democrat Al Green had to be removed from the House after his TDS caused him to stand and shout at Trump while waving his cane at him. Other Democrats held black signs with white letters spelling “False” and “Elon lies.” Still others sat on their hands and refused to acknowledge Trump’s guests like a 13-year-old boy fighting cancer who was made an honorary Secret Service agent and the mothers of two young women who were killed by illegal aliens.
Even Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) recognized the symptoms of TDS and described his party on X as, “A sad cavalcade of self owns and unhinged petulance.”
Democrats must not realize that they are committing political suicide. As conservative commentator, Scott Jennings says, Democrats are supporting the 20 percent of every 80-20 issue. Their radical progressive policies have garnered themselves a 21 percent approval rating according to a Quinnipiac Poll.
GREAT ONE-LINERS
- Trump called out Pocahontas for spending billions on the endless war in Ukraine.
- When reading the list of people in their 100s and 200s who are receiving Social Security benefits, Trump said, “Bobby, (RFK Jr.) we’re healthier than we thought.”
- Trump said that for years Democrats said they couldn’t do anything about the border without passing legislation when all we really needed was “a new president.”
