Police were able to adequately handle protests during the national conventions in Cleveland and Chicago. Those are cities that aren't used to provided that type of security. DC will be in lock down, make no mistake.
The opposition to Trump is multi-faceted, and depend upon the politics of divisiveness. Whether it's the Muslim Brotherhood, Black Lives Matter, Reconquistas, or the Black Panthers, the roots of divisiveness trace back to the civil war and more recently the civil rights movement. Even the american and french revolutions were divisive.
It doesn't seem we're going to get away from the divisiveness, neither should we embrace it as those in both parties do. Trump is an independent, whose candidacy was made possible by Ron Paul in 2012. Sanders was and independent who ran as a Democrat for the same reasons Paul ran, to change the system from the inside.
Trump faces nearly insurmountable challenges over the next four years, however, if there's one thing that distinguishes the Trumps of the world, is they believe in themselves even when no one else does. Trump deserves the support and prayers of the American people as the duly elected commander in chief, just as Obama did before him. That is how we win as nation, not by name calling, as many have done in previous administrations, starting with Nixon, but by supporting our elected officials at all levels of government.
If it was enough to do good, then man would be able to save himself, but that isn't the case. God sent a saviour into this world, and it is by believing in the name of his son, Jesus Christ, that we overcome this world. We are the greatest nation the world has ever seen, a beacon of freedom and symbol of hope. What we allow to happen in Greece, Ukraine, South and Central America reflects upon the whole of humanity. There will always be division, strife, and dischord, at least until Christ returns in glory and vanquishes the real enemy. Like Abraham, we are
"... looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God" (Heb 11:10 ESV).
"The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil." (1 John 3:8b ESV)
"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father." (John 14:12 ESV)
Therefore, let us cease not in doing good, and even more importantly, believing that he who sent his son, has sent us also,
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed," (Luke 4:18 ESV)
Let the redeemed of the lord, say amen and amen.
