Unique opportunity for Raphael Warnock to work hard for all Georgians?

It really is puzzling that this particular senate race went to a runoff before it could be decided

For those who call themselves conservatives and christians – and you see many of the with eyes closed and arms stretched out in prayers at the Herschel Walker gatherings – and even the loser himself, Herschel Walker, gave a short speech that end in a call for “prayer”. But surely, the basic tenets of Christianity is to be humble (not sure he called the winner to congratulate him) and decent?

Something really has to change

When you see bible-totting, prayer-quoting people, say they support people who violently entered the country’s capitol building – an event that claimed 5 or so lives – you ask yourself where is humility and decency? But then, history will tell us there was religion, religious faith, teaching etc., during all those horrible periods in human history, where people we’re burnt at the stake for being witches (usually with very scant evidence), brutally tortured, centuries of enslavement (of all races) and heinous acts, some in the very name of religion. So, perhaps one should not be too surprised to hear someone say “let us pray” and then 5 minutes later, say well done to Kyle Rittenhouse for gunning a couple of people down (even if it was the right thing for him to do, surely, with lives claimed, it is nothing to celebrate!)

But when Biden won in 2020 and stated that he will rule for all and heal etc., the choice words. He now has 2 years to go, to truly try to do so. Yes, it is very difficult to try to be nice to people who are busy trying to dig up spurious charges against your son and just want to bring you down just for the heck of it (threats of impeachment just to settle scores etc.), but he has to rise above all that and come out strongly for all Americans and try to at least breach some of this mad division, if as we all know, he can’t end it as this goes back centuries but has never been this raw, not since their civil war.

The current situation is simply not sustainable! How long can the common-sense folk hold out for? If not Raphael Warnock today, it’ll be someone Els tomorrow. We cannot always hope common-sense will prevail. At some point it won’t. And the outcome could be devastating! Herschel Walker in senate is one example. It just beggars belief! It should matter what your politics is or what you believe in, when it comes to the highest offices of government, you simply cannot have a lack of decency. People refusing to concede election defeat, people not calling their opponents to congratulate them, an outgoing president refusing to welcome the incoming one and refusing to observe the requirements of handing over power (setting aside the attempts to derail the handover for a minute): these are not occurrences that should be happening in a democracy, let alone in the United States of America!

Warnock now needs to come out strong for ALL of Georgia, including those who supported Walker. He needs to come out strongly to state and mean that. This madness simply cannot continue!

an everyday professional wondering (as many others do daily) what all the animosity is all about? we all came with nothing (as babies), didn’t choose where we popped out and we will all leave (when we die) with nothing.
