Peace and Unity With the Left is Not an Option for Christians

In the aftermath of the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, it may seem prudent to seek common ground with our enemies. It may be easy to fall prey to the superficial and hollow calls to “unity” from political leaders—whether it be Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, or Gretchen Whitmer—condemning the violence.

Yet, we must not be deceived by this empty deceit, for the underlying worldview and agenda of these leftist leaders remain fundamentally opposed to God, the Church, and His creation. While we are glad that they, at least in words, condemned the violence, that’s about the only thing we can agree on.

For the last decade, the left has been fanning the flames of violence with false narratives about conservatives. They play word games, gaslighting the right by labeling us as "Nazis," "white supremacists," and "anti-choice," among other pejoratives. These constant lies are not mere political rhetoric—they are calculated moves to advance a culture of fear and hatred against conservatives. It’s an agenda that culminated in a near tragedy.

Despite their hollow cries for peace and unity, conservatives should not fall for it. This is just another ploy from the left to appear reasonable while continuing to push for the senseless killing of unborn children, harmful trans ideologies on minors, and socialist and communist ideologies. They are exploiting this tragedy to try to gain favor, to seem like they are against violence when their policies and rhetoric have been inciting it all along.
