Politics-What's on your mind?

The artist who wrote and performed this song has called out the radical religious (Evangelical) right about their complete and unabashed support of the profane creature, Trump, who embodies evil, hatred, dishonesty, greed and corruption.

Hymn For The 81%-- Daniel Deitrich

The following paragraphs are in the descriptive information of the video, which is posted on Youtube, as follows:

"In 2016, 81% of white evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump after (among other things) hearing an audio recording of him bragging about sexually assaulting women.

Maya Angelou famously said, “when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”

In the years since, even after enacting deliberately cruel policies to rip families apart and put children in cages at the southern border, evangelical support is as fervent as ever.

I was raised in the Evangelical world. It shaped me. I learned to take the words of Jesus seriously - love God, love your neighbor, feed the hungry, fight for justice for the oppressed. I thought that things like love, kindness, gentleness, and self-control MATTERED. I have been so confused and deeply saddened by the unflinching loyalty to a man who so clearly embodies the opposite of these values.

This song is a lament. It's a loving rebuke. It's a plea for the 81%, to come home to the way of Jesus." -- Daniel Deitrich, composer and artist

I certainly hope this song/video continues to go viral. As a Christian believer/follower, by both my raising and personal faith, I absolutely feel the very same way as this artist, in this song, as he calls out the very Evangelicals and church/religious entities who are supporting the very evil that Jesus instructed us to eschew and ardently stand against. Our beliefs and faith in the teachings and word of Christ, as our Savior, is what gives us the right and privilege of claiming the name "Christians".
