The writer fails to see that what has made our society progressively dysfunctional is & has been addressed by the Federal Administration, which has been aggressively seeking what you, I and the writer deplore.
Consider the increasing Federalization of inherently local concerns--health care (as it relates to individual needs), education of individual children--for clear examples. These, as also the "safety-net ("Welfare") are not functionally addressed by layering multiple levels of bureaucracy over every problem.
The Administration's every action related to the immigration problem is clearly directed towards flooding American communities with individuals who will destroy community cohesion & continuity. The "immigrants" are being used by the Administration as pawns. This is patently intentional, however a mass media, thoroughly brainwashed in the idiocy that people are interchangeable, chooses to ignore the obvious reality.
You mention God & rules of authority having been flipped. Indeed, in a sense, the Administration is engaged in a collectivist/humanist effort to embrace an ideological equivalent to Nimrod's egotistical over-reach in Genesis by A Return To Babel.
Again, what is going on right now, is a deliberate reflection of a long-term attack on the political/economic/social & spiritual culture of rooted Americans. And time is running out on all the once well understood virtues of the once free people being targeted.

Federal refers to the states. Articles of Confederation. Confederate States of America.
The term Federal Government itself became a misnomer after 1913. It is used today entirely out of habit and nothing else.
