Dear Minnesotans,
In the heart of our great state, where lakes reflect the resilience of our people and prairies whisper tales of hard-earned unity, we’ve found ourselves ensnared in a web of deception. For years, political forces have lied to us, exploited our differences, and deliberately pitted us against one another—not for our benefit, but to divide, control, and consolidate power over the masses. Drawing from timeless wisdom in Luke Chapter 12, where Jesus warns against hypocrisy, urges fearless faith, and calls us to seek God’s kingdom amid division caused by truth, it’s time to recognize this premeditated strategy and rise above it. We’ve been manipulated into viewing neighbors as enemies, but the real adversary is the unhealthy behaviors that plague us all, regardless of party lines.
Stop Heeding the Voices of Cynicism and Division
First, let’s heed a simple truth: Stop listening to negative, nasty, mean-spirited, and cynical people. These voices—often amplified by media echo chambers and political operatives—thrive on sowing discord. They exploit our fears, twisting facts to fuel outrage. In Luke 12, Jesus cautions against the “yeast of the Pharisees,” which is hypocrisy that spreads like leaven, corrupting the whole. Today, this manifests in leaders and influencers who preach unity while enacting policies that divide families, communities, and our state. Minnesotans, we’ve been gaslit into believing our divisions are organic, but they’re engineered to keep us distracted from shared struggles like economic hardship, rising crime, and eroding freedoms.
A Message to Democrats: Recognizing When “Too Far” Means Broken Promises
Dear Democrats,
Many of you are awakening to the reality that Governor Tim Walz and his like-minded supporters have pushed boundaries beyond reason. Policies once sold as progressive compassion now reveal themselves as intellectually and morally fractured. Consider the sanctuary state declarations that have strained resources without addressing root causes, leading to overwhelmed schools and healthcare systems. Or the aggressive push for gender ideology in education, which has alienated parents and sparked lawsuits over parental rights. Even on economic fronts, tax hikes framed as “fairness” have burdened working families while corporate loopholes persist. These aren’t mere missteps; they’re part of a broader exploitation where urban elites in the Twin Cities dictate to rural Minnesotans, pitting city against country. As Luke 12 teaches, true stewardship demands readiness and faithfulness—not virtue-signaling that divides households. You’re seeing friends question this path because it exploits trust for control, leaving moral voids where unity should stand.
A Message to Republicans: Identifying the True Cynics
Dear Republicans,
The vast majority of you are discerning the mean-spirited and cynical among us, whose judgments veer wildly off track. It’s not just the opposition; sometimes it’s within our ranks—those who weaponize rhetoric without substance, turning valid concerns into hateful barbs. Walz’s administration has been criticized for mishandling the 2020 riots, allowing billions in damages while downplaying accountability, which cynics on both sides exploit to fan flames. Policies like the carbon-free energy mandate by 2040 promise green jobs but risk blackouts and higher bills, exploiting environmental fears without practical solutions. You’ve seen how this cynicism paints conservatives as heartless, when in truth, it’s the system pitting blue-collar workers against mandates that threaten livelihoods. Luke 12 reminds us of the cost of discipleship: Truth divides, but not for division’s sake—it’s to expose hypocrisy. Recognize that off-track judgments from cynics serve the elite’s control, not our shared values of freedom and family.
A Message to Independents: Pioneering Shared Understandings
Dear Independents,
You navigate the same treacherous waters of cynicism and over-judgment, often caught in the crossfire of partisan extremes. Yet, you’re uniquely positioned to open doors to new understandings. In Minnesota, independents have watched as policies like universal background checks on guns or abortion rights expansions create false binaries, exploiting emotions to control narratives. The state’s budget surpluses have been squandered on pet projects, while infrastructure crumbles—dividing us into “winners” and “losers” by design. Fight this by rejecting judgmental echo chambers; instead, foster dialogues that reveal our common exploitation. As in Luke 12, where Jesus urges vigilance against worry and materialism, independents can lead by seeking the kingdom first—prioritizing truth over tribalism.
Our Common Enemy: Unhealthy Behaviors That Know No Boundaries
We are all battling the same symptoms of the human condition: Greed, fear, hypocrisy, and division. Our true enemy isn’t each other—it’s unhealthy and inappropriate behaviors that transcend race, color, or creed. These manifest in leaders who lie about policy impacts, exploit vulnerabilities for votes, and control through manufactured outrage. In Minnesota, this has led to exploited immigrants straining social services, divided families over school curricula, and controlled masses via media spin. Luke 12’s parables of readiness and stewardship call us to faithfulness: Provide for one another as God provides, without worry or hypocrisy.
Minnesotans, it’s time to unite. Reject the lies that say we’re irreconcilable. Cast off the exploitation that drains our spirit. End the pitting that weakens us. Embrace fearless faith, seek shared truth, and build a state where vigilance triumphs over division. Together, we can reclaim our common ground—for our families, our faith, and our future.
Many blessings,
Phillip
