Accomplishments and Trump

“What are we accomplishing?”

In John 11, this was the question the Jewish leaders were asking themselves in light of all that Jesus was doing. His teachings and miracles were drawing yuge crowds. They could see all that they had worked for slipping away.

It might have been different if their accomplishments had been for the people; but they weren’t. It was all about advancing their fine tuned, highly organized and controlling system that had taken years to develop. Jesus was a threat to it. And with their focus being set on protecting it, there was only one option as they saw it ... Jesus had to be stopped.

Trump, similarly, has not been on the scene long, but he is accomplishing things. The Democratic Party’s accomplishments have not been highly regarded and the American people finally let them know it. Their focus was on extending their control; and seeing that control slip away — control that has taken years to develop — are likewise seeing only one option. Trump must be stopped.

As it is, Trump is a threat to the organized and controlling Democratic Party; actually to all who are more for themselves than for the people. My hope is, as opponents on both sides see the good that is being done for the people, that their interests could shift away from themselves and toward the people. What if down the road, all could say, “Look at what we are accomplishing”.
