I have met many young people who are voting Democrat because it makes them feel good about themselves, and look good to others. They don’t really understand what the issues are. They can’t name any Trump or Biden policies. They just know that the TV told them that Orange Man Bad, and that’s good enough for them. But let’s see what will happen in November if Joe Biden wins the presidency.
This article from The Federalist explains:
Should the Democrats choose to expand the court by at least four members to provide for a 7-6 majority assuming Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed, it is important for Americans to understand how this drastic maneuver will change their lives and their country.
And here’s the list:
- 1. Gun Rights
- 2. Free Speech
- 3. Abortion
- 4. Religious Liberty
- 5. Election Laws
I wanted to drill deeper on these two:
3. Abortion
There are a whole host of issues surrounding abortion that a new progressive majority would impact, from parental notification laws, to limits on how late in pregnancy abortion could be performed, to a state’s ability to regulate the abortion industry. The progressive reading of Roe v. Wade is almost limitless in its scope and perhaps the only question mark would regard the ability to kill babies even after they are outside of the mother. Beyond that, it is very likely that almost any state restrictions would be shot down.
4. Religious Liberty
Several religious liberty cases such as Hobby Lobby and Little Sisters of the Poor have been closely decided of late. It is safe to assume these decisions would be reversed. Practicing Christians and members of other faiths would face far greater restriction in living their faith in their public life. Our understanding of how we may practice our religions would undergo a major change, abandoning the American tradition of public faith, and limiting religious expression to the church and the home.
If you look at Biden and Harris records on religious liberty, you’ll understand that their goal is to eliminate Bible-believing Christianity from the public sphere.
According to this The Federalist article, Kamala Harris opposed a judicial nominee for being Catholic:
In 2019, Harris suggested that Brian Buescher, a nominee for a district court seat, was unfit for service because of his membership in the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal organization. As part of his Senate confirmation, she asked Buescher whether he knew that the Knights “opposed a woman’s right to choose” and “opposed marriage equality.”
Of course, the Catholic Church, like many other religious groups, opposes same-sex marriage and abortion. To treat membership in a Catholic organization as potentially disqualifying, precisely because that organization upholds Catholic beliefs, amounts to a religious test for public office.
If Catholics are faithful to Christian teaching, especially on abortion and sexuality, Harris believes they have no place in our politics. “Russia was able to influence our election,” she wrote in 2019, “because they figured out that racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, and transphobia are America’s Achilles heel. These issues aren’t only civil rights — they’re also a matter of national security. We have to deal with that.”
With these words, Harris lumped believing Catholics in with antisemites. If you believe marriage is between a man and woman, if you think boys should not be allowed to compete in girls’ sports, Harris thinks you might be a tool of our nation’s enemies.
Catholics should take Harris at her word. She has a history of bringing criminal charges against her political enemies. As attorney general of California, she prosecuted David Daleiden, a young Catholic investigative journalist who had exposed certain dark practices of Planned Parenthood, such as the selling of baby body parts. As part of the prosecution, Harris raided Daleiden’s home, an unnecessary act designed to punish and intimidate. Daleiden said he relied on “the church, the faith of the church, the ancient ritual of the church” during his ordeal.
Also:
Harris enjoys a 100 percent approval rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America, and received more than $80,000 in donations from abortion providers. Little wonder, then, that she spent her time as attorney general of California launching spurious prosecutions against pro-life activists.
Harris isn’t the only one who hates religious people, the man at the top of the Democrat ticket does too.
The Federalist explains:
During her brief career in the Senate, Harris co-sponsored the absurdly named “Equality Act,” which would force all hospitals and all physicians to perform sex-changes and cross-sex hormone injections. She followed this up by introducing the even more absurdly named “Do No Harm Act,” which would strip legal protections for conscientious objectors to these practices.
Biden has fallen into line. His website now vows to make enacting the Equality Act a “top legislative priority” for the first 100 days of his administration
The double-whammy of the “Equality Act” combined with the “Do No Harm Act” would not only destroy religious protections for hospitals but religious protections for faithful Catholic organizations and individuals across the board. Catholic business-owners could see their businesses shut down for refusing to facilitate same-sex weddings or having separate facilities for biological males and biological females.
Schools would be forced to do the same, including allowing biological boys who identify as transgender to change in the girls’ locker rooms, use the girls’ bathrooms, and, in sports, compete on teams alongside girls. Similar laws in five different states have already forced Catholic Charities’s adoption and foster services to close their doors.
It will be a real shame if people vote for Biden/Harris thinking that they will be able to take the Bible seriously in their public lives. That will all end soon after they are elected.
The Democratic Party should just change its name to the Marxist party. It would be more intellectually honest if they did. That’s how far left it’s gone.

How many young people voting Democrat care about pro-life policies and laws as well as religious freedom? The ones I’ve talked to care a lot about these issues but not in the way Republican candidates want to go about them. It’s disheartening that it’s most of the young people I’ve come across. For how long will the average age group we have that hold the majority of government offices stay until a younger generation takes over? And what will that look like?

“It will be a real shame if people vote for Biden/Harris thinking that they will be able to take the Bible seriously in their public lives.”
People who vote Democrat do not, by definition, take the Bible seriously. They want people who DO take the Bible seriously put away.
Now, they might CLAIM to be Catholic or Christian, but even the most optimistic polls show that less than 5% of people who make those claims in America hold a Biblical worldview. And that does not even account for those whose faith is dead because they show no good fruits.

WGC,
What scares me is so many strong believers with much fruit at my church who are turning fruity for this election (voting Biden). I hope it’s an anomaly and not a representation of what is happening at other PCA churches. It’s why I am pessimistic about this election- too many white Christian men who voted Trump in 2016 are so against him now. And I am talking about great, earnest believers. I’m beyond dismay at how easy it was to peel them away. Add to that the cheating that is being condoned by Soros’ AGs, and I am left with my head saying, nope, but my head and heart knowing that God can overcome this. But will He? There is a good case to be made that we are getting what we want.

It turns out that churches were not so much about promoting what the Bible teaches. They were about making people feel good and nice and connected. So they just push whatever the culture says is “good”.
Also, I’m not white. I just think everyone in the church should be conservative. I am more worries that married men in the church are going woke.

No Christian can vote for a baby-killer.
That is a fruit so filthy that it does not matter what other fruits those “earnest believers” have. They have disqualified themselves from Christ by such a vote.
