FAITH CHECK: "There will be fights at kid's birthday parties," warns Halperin. Because millions of Americans have been gas lit about Russia collusion, Trump is Hitler, and their fellow citizens supporting Trump is a fundamental evil, they will lose their mind. For me, the real question should be, will the Church be ready?
Yes, President Trump will have a responsibility to act and do things in a way to unite the country. Maybe start with reigniting energy independence, put Democrats like RFJ Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard out front, and move Ukraine towards a negotiated peace with Russia?
And yes. The Harris-Biden administration must accept the results and do all they can to set the peaceful transfer of power in place. Will that happen? Honestly, I'm not confident they can humble themselves after eight years of apocalyptic projection on MAGA.
What about the responsibility of Christians to read the 'signs of the times'? Paul tells us to "preach the word. Be ready in season and out of season...they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." (2 Tim. 4:2-5). So, will the local church be prepared to bring grace and love to facilitate reconciliation?

TUCKER CARLSON: A lot of Democrats, maybe the majority, believe that Trump becoming president again is the worst thing that could ever happen. So how do they respond to that?
MARK HALPERIN: I say this not flippantly, I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country. I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future, and the future for their children, could be like. I think it will require an enormous amount of access to mental health professionals. I think it’ll lead to trauma in the workplace. I think there will be some degree of --
TUCKER CARLSON: Are you being serious?
MARK HALPERIN: 100% serious. I think there’ll be alcoholism, broken marriages... yeah. They think he’s the worst person possible to be president. Having won by the hand of Jim Comey and a fluke in 2016, and then performed in office for four years, and denied who won the election last time, and January 6th... the fact that under a fair election, America chose by the pre-agreed rules Donald Trump again -- I think it will cause the biggest mental health crisis in the history of America.
