@Proserpina Really? Wow. However, I don't think Trump is a spiritual person at all. Could you share how Trump has helped you spiritually?

No matter the final outcome of this election, Trump-ism is here to stay. The amount of people who resonate with Trump will always be a huge proportion of the population. So someone like Tucker standing up for 2024 could be a reality if people can't do anything about the situation! It seems like a huge challenge for Joe Biden, if he gets elected, to bring unity between the Republican and Democrat parties. Hopefully with his many years of service, he has the connection and ties to get things done in a projected Republican majority senate. However in the end, the President can't really do anything to change the division. Only people can bring unity, and that requires a lot of conscious people.

It is impossible to change these type of people. I think the best step would be simply to observe the same thing in ourselves. For example if you recognize Republican or Democrat views up to a point that you absolutely don't want the candidate on the other side to win, then basically you have a biased worldview as well. Well this means basically all of us have a relatively simplistic world view, and I think we can try to take a step back by not trying to enforce others to agree with the candidate of our choice (in this example). We can try to be neutral, try to see both sides as one, and try to see how one candidate getting elected "benefits" the country from both perspectives. After all, any idea of one candidate being better is ultimately just a selfish idea. So if we can implement this type of mindset, anyone would approaches you would see how you can put yourself in their shoes and be comfortable with either outcome. That should help enlighten them to be open-minded.

It's hard to determine what level in spiral dynamics that Putin is in, because he is governing a country that is transitioning from red/blue to orange/green levels. I would guess Putin is a blue/grey guy, will a lot of grey since he has to do a lot of governing and dictating.

I wonder how many of the chanters agree with what they were chanting. I think most Trump supporters take his words sarcastically sometimes.

@Claymoree The Old Testament books contains prophecies about Jesus, starting right off from Moses in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 15: "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;" And you'll see a bunch of prophecies on Jesus in the book of Psalms and Isaiah. Then in the New Testament, Jesus's teachings basically makes reference to most of the books in the Old Testament. This is mostly because Jesus was preaching in Israel and so he based his teachings on the Jewish culture. So studying the Old Testament would help to understand some parts of the New Testament, but I do agree if some people think the New and Old Testaments were talking about very different things. This is because the last book in the Old Testament is over 400 years away from when Jesus was born, and so people sort of lived in a different era. Jesus also preached the true meaning of the Old Testament, which blew people's minds away so much that he got crucified in the end.
