I have lost faith that this government works for the people anymore. Trump 2016 was a fluke. The establishment messed up and didn't rig it enough while underestimating the support for Trump. They overcompensated this time and got caught. But they control the media and the narrative and most people are simply sheep. Most people think this is all new. it's not. It's been happening for decades. They used to assassinate Presidents (like Kennedy) but they have since put methods in place to do what they just did. Trump knows it. We know it. But nothing can be done about it. We the people no longer control our government. Voting doesn't matter. Voting only serves to make people feel like they have a say. This I've known since at least 2008-09. I've been telling people since 2004 that we were headed for a Civil War. People laughed at me. I said it would happen in the next 10-15 years. I was off by 5 years or so. Unless you count the culture war that raged throughout the Obama years and continues to this day. There are only two options for Christians now. Either fight like the founders did for their independence....or retreat like the 1st Century Church did under Rome and the Jewish Councils and puppet Monarchy. I'm inclined toward the latter in my spirit but my flesh is drawn to battle in the flesh. I know that the right thing to do is to set my mind body soul and spirit on the Kingdom of God where my True citizenship is. But my heart wants to shoot out of my chest for the sake of this Nation like Ahab hunting for Moby Dick. My struggle is not with whether there was fraud or all the nuances of Political "truths". My struggle is here....at the point of cognitive dissonance between loyalties to this "kingdom of man" and my Loyalty to the Kingdom of God. Christ said "Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things will be added to you." What things? Food, Drink, Clothing. These are the only things God promises us we wouldn't go without. He never promised we would not live under tyranny. But He did instruct us on how to behave under tyranny. And the desire of my flesh to FIGHT does not align with my conviction and oath to the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.
