People who were attracted to Trump believed he wouldn't be worse than what they had.
Even if that seems facially absurd to me, disconfirming people's lived experience is a relational dead end.
People who feel critically insecure, who live in crisis, are more likely to be opportunistic with power and grab for it on a small scale, without thinking about larger questions or the long term.
I get uncontrollably angry sometimes, and I think about horrible things happening to the targets of my anger.
But what I really want is God's justice; and not just punishment of wickedness, but the precise blend of judgment and mercy that will glorify Him.
And the Bible promises me that I'll get exactly what I want, which I need to remind myself of over and over again.
