"All that is necessary for evil to triumph......", etc.
The left and the Uniparty have done so much damage to the country I haven’t recognized it since before the Kenyan Usurper ascended from the pit of Hell to the Oval Office.
And make no mistake, the Rainbow White House fiasco is from the pit of Hell.
How we can have church-goers who applauded this God-deleting. LGBTQXYZ-marriage, Israel-hating, Nuclear Iran-enabling Democrat liberal beast (Remember when the Democrats booed Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and booed God?) and his works truly shows we are in the Last Days.
In other words, we miss the America that existed before conservatives ceded control of entertainment, politics, religion and community to liberals. Liberalism is the second most destructive force in Western Civilization. The most destructive force is cowardly conservatives.
"All that is necessary for evil to triumph......", etc.
Nothing personal, but I've had quite enough of that particular [and seemingly ubiquitous] mantra, and I'll explain why:
It's nothing more than the 'blame the victim' schtick that is popular with abusers. It's the victim's fault for not standing up, for not defending himself. It's not the perpetrator's fault, it's the enabling victim's fault for tolerating the abuser. If the victim had drawn a firm line in the sand, none of this would have happened, he could have prevented it... blah blah blah. And the people are left demoralized, blaming themselves for evil that straight out of the gate, chose to prey upon others.
As someone's tagline around here states, "Evil doesn't have a day job."
Hindsight is always 20/20 because people forget why the slope is slippery by nature. Evil slithers in because it is, by nature, duplicitous and subtle. It has its legitimate cover, its plausible deniability cards ready to play. Accuse a manupulator of manipulating, and he can show you not only why he "isn't" manipulating, but that he is being falsely accused of malevolent motives. Easy, because he lies by nature.
When he find himself exposed like that, he merely reassesses and adjusts his tactics, but he never sleeps. Plus he has plenty of true enablers and useful idiots who are the children-by-choice, content in their ignorance, shocked when every 'good' thing they support ends up destroying the world.
Reasonable people, by virtue of their being reasonable, peaceful, and just by nature, do not want to draw false conclusions, and thus give the benefit of the doubt. Predators know this, and exploit it, because they are evil.
By the time it is obvious that evil people have perpetrated evil, the roots are deep. The third-world take-over, for example.
Victims are left wondering what they did wrong, and there is no shortage of folks ready to read off a long list of the victims' failings.
The Achilles' heel of the righteous - that they are sincere, loving, and open-hearted to a fault, despising hasty judgment calls - is actually their identifying characteristic. If they had given evil a beatdown at the beginning (evil that intentionally masquerades as goodness and light), then they wouldn't be of any different character than the enemy. That's why the cycle keeps repeating over the course of human history. The righteous desire the rule of law, to give every man a fair hearing, even or especially the one who looks guilty on first glance.
A primary weakness of the nation of Israel was that they were reluctant to kill the enemies God had instucted them to kill. An evil people, on the other hand, would have jumped at the chance to have a license to kill. Balaam taught Balak how to curse the people... show them the women. The men of Israel loved the women. The weakness was their wanting to be intimate with women. Easy for an enemy to exploit. Foreign women meant that foreign gods could slip right in.
A lack of faith is in not trusting God's instructions, which are based on His eyesight, the eyes that see right through outward fake appearances. So a victim can be blamed for a lack of faith, but anyone pointing fingers is tolerating demons somewhere for the sake of peace, say at Thanksgiving or Christmas.
So are people foolish to allow evil to slither in, to not see it coming? Well yes, but why it happens is why it will always happen, as long as the righteous are righteous, and the wicked are wicked. But the fault still sits squarely on the plotters. Just because sheep are clueless doesn't give the wolf a pass. In fact, it makes him all the more guilty, because he willingly and knowingly takes advantage of the good nature of the sheep.
If the wolf knew what he were doing, he wouldn't do that. Same for the blame the victim crowd.

How to upend the vicious cycle is to supersede it and make the entire operating system obsolete. Here we have a man named Trump (Trump!) tearing down the Establishment, because it's time. Evil overplayed its hand.
God has been paying close attention all along, and He is sick of it. I can see that because a man named Trump doesn't just end up as President of the United States, out of nowhere no less.
