This is simply a tract for faith-based believers to convert their obviously uninformed, unenlightened and morally/intellectually stunted brethren to ‘the faith’. I’m *not* a Trump supporter but really this typifies the very arrogance and condescension that led to the anger that got him voted in the first place.

“ It is absolutely true that the individual named Trump must be defeated”: perhaps start there: since 1/2 the country (unless your nitpicking) believed he must WIN then clearly it is not “absolutely true” unless you are a person who believes anyone who doesn’t subscribe to your faith is an ‘infidel’.

A much more (IMHO) effective tact for those of us who believe he must be defeated would be to wrap our heads around why he did and stop writing off his supporters as being wrong-headed, racist, misogynist and uneducated (the sneering classism/condescension of that single and incorrect metric is part of your answer right there).
