Incidentally, that also applies to things you might like or enjoy.

Which, of course, is why the Bible instructs us to think on whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

I'll buy that.

I think it's more "You become what you fixate on." Hating something is not a problem in and of itself. Even Christians are fond of the saying, "Hate the sin, love the sinner." It's when you start to dwell on the thing you hate and let it become your focus to the exclusion of all else that it becomes destructive.

I'll buy that.

Did they simply not pay attention during the campaign? Because both Joe and Harris stated openly that they planned to destroy the oil and gas industries in the United States. I mean, they didn't even try to wrap it up in pretty rhetoric, just straight up said, essentially, "This is what we plan to do."

I call this the "Mein Kampf" principal. Hitler put into the book exactly what he was going to do and no one believed it until he really did it.

More likely they got their news from the various MSM sources outthere who spent the entire election "factchecking" and assuring everyone that it simply wasnt true and that Biden was not going to end fracking, etc.

Like there was any doubt that TDS blinded folks and caused them to become unhinged

I was just reading Matthew 12 where the Pharisees brought the blind and mute man to Jesus - possessed of a demon - and Jesus healed him.
Reminds me of what the 'prince of the power of the air' does to people, and what Paul says about being blinded so they can't see the Glorious Light of the Gospel....

I have often heard it said "you become what you hate" -- which is often cited in cases where there is an abusive father who is abusive because he hated his abusive father..... the "cycle of violence".

Hatred for Trump even "Trumps" one's beliefs regarding abortion, same sex marriage, religious liberty, free speech.....

MOST of the people I deal with during the week are democrats / liberals --- often, at breakfast, I'll just start the conversation "What do you think about abortion ....." and go through the list.
The VAST MAJORITY are with me on the issues a Christian would consider important..... but then....

what you said!

In other words, they became everything they falsely accused Trump's supporters of being.

They were blinded by their hatred of Trump. It's that simple. Nobody could be worse for the country than TRUMP!!!! It is amazing how this hatred for one man can cause a person to lose total rational thought and reason.

The natural gas compression company for whom I worked had a lot of contractors who were "blue collar Democrats" who are absolutely stunned that Biden would do such a thing, because they voted for him.

Like many in Pennsylvania who are stunned that Biden appears to be targeting fracking after he assured them he wouldn't.

Hopefully, two years isn't long enough for these people to forget how they were stabbed in the back.
