Plenty of drama out there in many of the headlines and podcast videos, social media posts etc. and who do those podcasters, posters ultimately work for?
And what about the quiet ones who bored their way into the USA looking 'normal' and 'mainstream' even "Christian" and "Conservative".
REPUBLICAN, BAPTIST, COMMUNIST
"Wakefield was a gerrymandered district, they said, controlled by the Republicans. There was no Democratic organization in the town.
'It will be best for you to register as a Republican. Whatever you will say will carry much more weight if you are speaking as a Republican'.
I inquired about my activity in the Baptist Church, somewhat apprehensive that they might direct me to stay out of it.

I post some brutally honest things on FR from time to time like this post just today...
"The Communists and Nazis out there need to be let into my tent which is one that recognizes that apart from Christ I am nothing.
'I am the vine you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him bears much fruit for apart from me you can do nothing' John 15:5
The Apostle Paul told his own people the Jewish people that Jesus was the The Way, The Only Way and Paul suffered for it..."...
"The big thing is that Jesus is going to be so revealed in beauty and glory in and through us his saints the whole universe is going to stand and marvel that Christ could do such a thing by his death and resurrection.
That he could take sinners like you and me who are opposed to God who break his laws, who disobey him every day and he's going to take us and make us into what he plans for the future..."
