thebeesknees22 pretty much conveyed my thoughts, probably more concise and effectively than I would have. I think there's also the extreme intolerance (shit-hole countries, anti-LBGTQ, racism, grab 'em by the pussy, etc...), the multiple divorces, affairs, and continuous lies that are also...
I appreciate your rational and sincere response, even if there are many points I disagree with. Thank you for being cordial.
I do have one thing I'm hoping you can answer for me, because the Christians I know that support Trump always go back to abortion and weapons. As a Christian yourself...

I've been using Whirlwind cables ever since I first started playing. Matter of fact, the cables I used for all of the live shows and recording I did almost 20 years ago are still the same ones I use today. Love that they are made right in my hometown, and the quality has been great...
