Catch yourself I trust that is your Rov is indeed well known and respected. Which is why id be really interested to hear what he has to say about the culture in america, and where its headed. Abortion, transgenderism. Really trying to understand what there is to the Democrat Party. A few comments claim that democrats care about the poor, while Republicans care about the rich. This is an age old rhetoric that is completely inapplicable. Following the election, my Rov, too tremendously well known and respected across the yeshiva velt, said one thing about the election “dont talk about it by the Shabbos table.” Yet, following the inauguration, he gave a 45 minute drasha why the new administration is a catastrophe for klal yisroel. He prefaced the drasha by saying that every word he is about to say, is torah, and you would need to make a birchas HaTorah before hearing. Because it was Hashkafa, how a yid is supposed to view the events unfolding. He talked about there are some open anti semites, and anti israel, bds supporters among the democrat ranks(he didnt mention any names, in fact he didnt mention any politicians name throughout the drasha). He spoke about the culture, and the direction its heading. Catch, id really be interested to hear what your Rov has to say about these topics.
Ctlawyer, you may be anti guns totally, but I dont see how you can say thats the torah perspective.(certainly not in accordance with the constitution)
