All Trump Supporters That Keep the Innocent in Bondage: Apostates
It should be very clear by now to anyone paying attention that the Trump administration is fascist and funds terrorist groups that deport and kill innocent people. If you believe otherwise, you're wrong and you need to come to terms with that.
American Christians, repent! Turn from your wickedness and stop enabling this evil. It is time for all believers in Jesus Christ to stop voting for Republican candidates. If you can't bring yourself to vote for anyone else, stop voting. Love your neighbors. Yes, those neighbors.
Below are some things I wrote on our long lost wiki nearly ten years ago. I am providing them without edit, and I believe they are even more relevant now than then.

He said, "Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown. But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land. Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian." They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things. They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff. But he, passing through the middle of them, went his way. - Luke 4:24-30, WEB
I am deeply troubled. There are those who call themselves my brothers and sisters who have been greatly deceived. Jesus' ministry was to the alien, the outcast. In Luke 4, we see him state a fact about Old Testament prophets, and the people wanted to throw him off a cliff. Why? He simply suggested that God cared about those outside of Israel, including those in Sidon and Syria, people despised by the Jews. The Pharisees were outraged at facts, bare truth, about God's character. They sought to murder the Son of God for suggesting that God cares about more than just them and their nation.
We are approaching a turning point in America, and so many have been blinded by the law as the Pharisees were. If I may put it so plainly to even open the eyes of one blind brother or sister this election season: If you are planning to vote for Donald Trump, you are a blind Pharisee who cares more about laws and party lines than the Gospel. There are no two ways about this, my brothers and sisters: Donald Trump is an antichrist (see 1 John 2:18-29 for a definition), a man whose campaign rests on the promise to destroy lives and throw away the alien and the outcast instead of help them. Do you still not see? Look to Jesus Christ, God Almighty, Savior: you're getting ready to vote for a man who doesn't want to help the oppressed Syrian refugees, when Jesus Christ himself pointed out that Elisha went to one, a Syrian, instead of all those in Israel. Trump wants to lead the country with fear, when we could instead have countless new opportunities to share the Gospel. He wants to build a wall along Mexico to keep out an entire people group, when we should instead be longing to help them in the love of Christ.
America is not God's nation, if it ever has been. We are desperately sick, but we don't see our need for the Great Physician. Because we are so blind, do not expect God to bring blessing; expect him to rain fire upon this cursed nation. If we continue to turn our backs on the poor and oppressed, supporting a candidate and political party who specifically want to hurt countless people based on their ethnicity and status, favoring the wealthy and comfortable, God will turn his back on us. You need only look at James to see what God has to say to the wealthy and comfortable.
Do not be deceived. This election is not about abortion, or gay rights, or terrorism. This election is about standing with the Lord Jesus Christ above all else. I'll say it again: If you vote for Donald Trump, you are the Pharisees who stoned Jesus Christ. You are the blind Pharisees clinging to laws and moral codes instead of taking the Gospel of Peace to the downtrodden. Repent, therefore, and turn from your wickedness. You don't have to vote for Hillary Clinton, though I wouldn't fault you if you did. You can write in someone who truly upholds the love and justice of Jesus Christ. Or recognize that God has given you, through our government, the legal right to abstain from voting. Don't vote based on "the issues". Vote based on a person's character and the character of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As for me, I will pass through the ravenous crowd and sit this one out. It's not the sinners who need to repent this election season, it's those who call themselves by the name of Christ and yet still believe in voting Republican above all else. If you're going to vote, really look at what each candidate stands for and hold their policies and personal character up to God's Word.
(And perhaps I should clarify: I do care very much about upholding God's perfect law and preaching the whole counsel of his Word, but we have to realize that we're not going to stop people from sinning by taking away social welfare programs that give them options beyond having abortions. We're not going to stop people from sinning by showing them hatred. We're not going to stop people from sinning, but Jesus can. Let us first cry out to him to help us stop our own sinning. And then let us take the Gospel to all our new friends who are here because we didn't run away from them in fear.)

To Christians in America: I'm so sorry. It just got a lot harder to share the Gospel in the United States. So many people will now associate us with the fools who elected a man so afraid of people that he wants to build walls and ban whole people groups. We could have had whole new groups of people to reach, and we could have done it without preface. Now, we'll find ourselves often having to clarify, "No, I'm not one of those who voted for that man. I'm not like them; please listen. I'm not an American Christian. I'm a Christian."
To American Christians: May God have mercy on your souls. I know some of you honestly don't realize what you've done, and I sincerely hope you open your eyes while you still have time to repent and help those truly in need. Rise above your traditions and your nation's history, and fear God rather than man. You have treated the United States as something to be prized above the Gospel itself, which has existed and will exist for eternity. Your worthless nation hasn't even reached 250 years. Was it worth the trade? I promise you it wasn't.
