Numerous do not understand Trump supporters: 

Hillbilly Elegy did admirable job of explaining; 

1%s exported blue collar jobs lauded capitalism – 

immigrants were feared for taking jobs remaining. 

Pope/Biblical/Law and Order Highest authority: 

thus, feminism/homosexuality/abortion is no; 

liberal thinking contrary to all whites hold dear - 

Republicans promised would uphold status quo. 

New threatened secure traditional philosophy: 

God was in heaven, so all was right in world; 

tolerate `other’ but make sure stay separate – 

flag continues representing hypocrisy furled. 

It is well and good to worship lyrics of love: 

but applying principles symbolic just in name; 

forefathers role modeled what it looks like – 

constitution meant white males treated same. 

Never mind history confirms reap what sowed: 

liberals advancing one step forward/two back; 

authoritarian thinking justifies negative/even evil - 

in the name of God, Inquisition justified rack. 

Hitler role modeled Final Solution after America: 

subjugation Indian/Asian/women - slavery praised; 

highly civilized German populace saluted law/order – 

intelligence/decency/humanity collapsed crazed. 

Religious Right Conservatives do not want equality:

`caste’ with white males at top is manifest destiny ideal; 

RIGHTEOUS are needed to rise up as never before – 

it is hate, greed, power, inequality that present kneel. 

Religious Leaders like Bonhoeffer need to educate: 

Bible text sacred primacy of choice first endowment; 

abomination also means complimentary unique value - 

arms right to defend legitimate individual allotment. 

American jobs must stay on United States soil: 

taxes only on sales, income 100K and above; 

rich accountable multi blessings equals reciprocity – 

`walk the talk’ is the commandment of LOVE! 

We the People Need A Renaissance Covenant: 

guaranteeing exact rights/benefits/treatment all; 

 `if it was me/my child/kith-kin', what is greatest - 

America needs to HEAR/ANSWER DIVINE CALL!
