According to my particular understanding of biblical end times eschatology, we are not yet in the end times…but we ARE in the times that seem to be leading
into the end times. Things ARE getting worse, the DNC
is leading the way in that direction (and is therefore serving satan), and the GOP seems fecklessly powerless to counter it. In a twist on Clausewitz, it’s rapidly becoming true that rather than war being merely politics by other means, politics has become war by other means. The DNC is making political war on America, and the GOP is failing to rise to the challenge. They still think they’re playing at politics, and they lack the stomach for political warfare.
There is no voting our way out of this.
The DNC has been co-opted by the Elites, much the same way that one party in every country which allows multiple points of view has likewise been cooped. It is not the Democratic party of old. I detest much of the Republican party but there is not choice but to try to co-opt that voter base to thwart the now co-opted Democrats. I, too, made the mistake of votiing for Democrats in the past, the worst of which I consider to be Jimmy Carter. He sounded good, was a smart, principled man but he was a terrible leader and I helped to make him one. I think Romeny, if he had ascended to the Presidency would have been much, much worse than Carter - and I was foolish enough to vote for him, too.
I'm crossing my fingers that the most current crop of Republicans contesting offices will succeed in their elections and actually carry through with their promises. Kari Lake, for example, may win and may also be the first elected official that the Washington ghouls target for DOJ action to remove her from office. I personally believe that much of the DNC success is because they are hideously bellicose and use every scrap of political power within their reach to intimidate anyone, including within their own party, who dares to oppose them. Somehow, we have to break Soro's stranglehold over the direction of the country. It is going to take a lot more Lake and DeSantis types. It could turn ugly if the Congress actually starts opposing the Bureacracy but I believe we are no where near that yet - and may never get close.
The elites also co-opted the TEA party and absorbed it so it was no longer as effective. I guess my point is "the elites" control most everything and The People are mostly ignored.
