Hey, I don't know who needs to hear this, but just a couple friendly reminders about the Bible:
The words of Jesus are not elevated above other parts of Scripture. All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16) Therefore, just because a topic isn't addressed in the red letters in the Gospels, it doesn't mean the Bible doesn't address it - the epistles and the Old Testament carry just as much weight as the Gospels do.
Also, just because the Bible doesn't mention a specific topic directly, it doesn't mean the Bible is silent on that particular issue. It may not address that issue head-on - it might not have been relevant to any of the Biblical authors, or may not have even existed yet - but there are principles in the Bible we can probably apply to deal with it. For example, the Bible doesn't address abortion directly, but it does speak of, among other things, how murder is wrong, how life begins at conception, and how we should defend those who cannot defend themselves.
(Bonus Bible fact: Jesus. Was. Not. Political. In that He did not support or oppose any one modern political or economic system, and was far more concerned with His eternal Kingdom than any Earthly kingdom. Jesus does not endorse your political ideology, unless your political ideology is a theocracy ruled directly by God and not by sinful human middlemen. In which case, He does endorse that, but it's not going to happen until He comes back.)
