They still don’t get why they lost, do they?
Going crazy accusing Trump of being a threat to democracy/Nazi/fascist…but throwing the basic principles of the secular state right under the bus when they have the chance to criticise him.
Religion should never intrude upon state functions and therefore should stay out of politics also!
Tens of millions of people are free to criticise Trump for his policies without getting into conflict with secular principles – and do so every hour of every day. This priest should stick to the day job and to politically neutral sermons.
[Fun fact: I had a post saying pretty much exactly what I’ve written above, but in German, censored today on the Austrian news site “DerStandard”. The censor stated that my posts were removed because they amounted to “unfair conduct”.]

Well-said Emily. Some advice here (free, and therefore worth what you pay for it): Shorten up your vlog entries, and sharpen them (i.e. align your point of view; both sides aren’t usually accurate, or even reflective of reality, on many occasions). Either way, you’re doing good work. Thanks for it.
