From North Carolina pastor John Pavlovitz:
Take a good look, America.
This is your “lesser of two evils.”
This is the result of your third party, middle finger protest vote.
This is the fruit of you checking out and opting out altogether back in 2016.
I hope it was worth it, though I can’t imagine how it could be.
I think you’re beginning to see you made a mistake, I sense your silent regret, and I hear you carefully walking back your decision.
I even see you responding with apparent shock—but for the life of me I can’t imagine you’re surprised right now, even though you claim to be.
More disturbing than you voting for him out of supposed necessity, or choosing an independent candidate that ensured his ascension, or abstaining from voting at all—is you acting like this wasn’t the logical outcome, that this unmitigated global disaster wasn’t all but inevitable.
