I feel like Biden winning would be the only way to bring the country from the brink of civil war, but at the same time I can't support him since he's an advocate of abortion.

At times like this we should abandon ourselves to the providence of God. We ultimately have no control of what happens in this instance. You compare this time to the time of Marcus Aurelius but I would compare it more with the time of Sulla. A roman army is about to march on rome for the first time and spark several civil wars and purges and eventually lead to Caesar and the fall of the republic.

Self defense is a valid reason to kill. The church lays out the guidelines for self defense in the catechism. Stay with the sacraments - confession and the eucharist mainly - and you should be fine.

LMAO Who gives a s— about politics anymore, quit worrying about the false dichotomy it is obviously not controlled by normal people, but forces above that serve evil and the devil and for them we are lemmings, coonsoomers, unconscious npc's and to be treated like labrats or guineapigs, try your best not getting involved mate.

I'm calm.

The stuff in the 70's was way worse, and if America could handle that, i think no matter who wins, it will be ok.

Civil war stuff is silly.

You fags manage to get nasty race riots every 2 decades.

Of course, even super calm situations can spiral out of control pretty fast, so i don't doubt it COULD get weird, but i don't think it's likely.

Thank you anon, and God bless. This is the stuff I needed to hear. Thank you.

>I'm not saying completely cut yourself off from politics, but get your political exposure down to being just actual policy, and much much less (none) media sensationalism. Escape the constant news cycle that social media bombards you with -unfollow virtually every news outlet or better yet, get rid of social media altogether. I mean what use is 98% of it anyways? Replace your time and interest for that poison, with time and interest for things that actually count for something; hobbies, fitness, friends, prayers/scripture, study.

>I've taken my life back from constant weariness due no thanks to over-exposure to politics/sensationalism.

This.

This vid came an hour ago, but explains it really well.

The media sensationalizes partisan politics to get you angry and doom and gloomy.

>2014: 54 percent of Republicans supported gay marriage and that number continues to increase

>54 percent

Oh no, they are not getting more extremist. Just more blasphemy. Both sides especially.

If this is true, I am going to revaluate how I handle politics with those around me. This supports what I have suspected, that conservatism is not whatI believed it to be. There was an poster on Reddit (I know I use it) but they said that, the problem with the slippery slope scenario is that it affects both sides. Think of 2 people on top of the slope, one the "good" one (right), is telling the bad one (left) not to go down the slope, but as they descend the slope and the good one tries to talk to bad one, the good one becomes more reluctant to return to the top where they started, and as they descend, the "good" one starts getting used to and even enjoying the descent. Soon they reached the bottom, and the "good" person is little better than the bad person. in trying to restrain their counterpart, the good one falls as well.

There is no denying that conservatives today would be considered leftists a century ago. Will that be the case a century from now? Will tomorrow's "conservatives" be today's leftists?

The left vs right, is a mere tool for controlling the masses.

The gay marriage subject was kinda picked to inflame.

Point is, 24/7 news channels distort real politics.

And i doubt your scenario of non-stop progressivism is true.

Ideologies mutate.

Eugenics was a woke leftist thing until the nazis did it, environmentalism was a subjects old school conservatives and then nazis were big fans of, now it's a lefty thing, etc.

Over here in Eastern Europe, the left and right is defined by restricting access to store resources, due to communism, so ironically, the right is more into stuff like infrastructure and climate change, while the left is more nationalistic.

Don't let political memes define your political beliefs.

Biden is a liar and takes bribes as well as a fake catholic who is pro-Gay marriage and pro-Abortion.

>If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.

This kind of thing has been going on for thousands of years. I also got swept up in the 2016 election, we were all fired up for a little while. But you see what that got us, right? None of it is real, the news isn't an indicator of what is actually happening, or what events are building towards, these broadcasts and articles are just designed to keep you on edge for as long as possible. It's like how taxes are designed to get as much money as possible without causing people to stop working–the news is just taxing your mind. I dipped out in 2017 and haven't kept up with current events since, and I'm a lot happier, a lot less temperamental, I like where I live whereas a few years prior I hated it, because I viewed things through the lens of the news, not for what things simply were. I'm still politically minded, but to that end I simply study history. Digging up the truth about the past is difficult, but digging up the truth about the present is impossible. If you're so keen on politics then you'll be better served reading about the past. In general, disconnect, you won't lose friends for being apolitical, honestly.
