It's a long way down.

America is in a topsy-turvy state. Anyone who doesn't know that outright at least senses it. A just taken CNN poll finds that 70 percent of Americans are pessimistic about the country.
The conditions that have brought us to this state have been brewing for years. But things accelerated in 2016 with the election of Donald Trump. That was a repudiation of our decadent elite, which the high and mighty did not take lightly. This brought about an ongoing illegal coup against President Trump by Deep State government bureaucrats, which was aided and abetted by the corporate media and Democrat party. It all accumulated in the stolen election of 2020. This sordid event saddled the United States with the senile Joe Biden as president. And now America is being traumatized with the Wuhan virus, the hype of which is being used as a pretext for draconian government curtailment of our rights and freedom. Staggering as it may sound, on Thursday, this fraudulently installed president all but declared war on the 80-plus million unvaccinated Americans.
The country is discombobulated. The old rules and norms don't seem to apply. All this turmoil brought to mind The Fourth Turning (1997). Without going into detail, authors William Strauss and Neil Howe see history as unfolding in repeatable eighty- to one-hundred-year cycles, each of which they call a saeculum. The saeculum mirrors the seasons of life, expressed as generations move through society. The culmination of a cycle is a crisis, a turning point, or a "fourth turning." More specifically: "The Fourth Turning is a Crisis,

The left has taken over so many US institutions and it is happening in so many other countries. There is nowhere to flee to for an escape. It will be a bumpy ride.
Are we there yet ?
I’m waiting for the turn.
So, far, all I’ve really seen is a couple of decades of pretty steep decline which is only getting steeper. But to everything there is a season.
Turn! Turn! Turn!
I’ve been thinking it’s the Fourth Turning since 9/11/01. It’s hard to imagine life before the War on Terror™️. That was when our freedoms started dropping like flies.
This is an opportunity for complete repentance in the turning to God which is way past due. Pray for it
Anti-Christ people do not dicate whether God heals our land. Healing our land is determined by Christians according to 2 Chronicles 7:14.
"And if ye (Christian) be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." - Galatians 3:29
2 Chronicles 7:14 is a call for Christians (not anti-Christians) to repent. The Christian's job is to preach the good news to the lost and to keep himself disciplined (discipled) to walk as the Word and Holy Spirit lead.
If Christians apply Chronicles 7:14 to themselves - the God of heaven and Jesus will heal this land and no evil thing will prevent it!
I think Christians across the land and the world are examine themselves more than ever - asking the Lord to help us walk in the light as He is in the light.
Maranatha!
I agree. A great revival is happening. The emptiness of the world is being revealed in the hearts of many
The real perps behind that day are running things everywhere. It was an end, and the beginning of.
Maybe, like the 4 "seasons" that lead to a Turning, the Fourth Turning takes longer and is much harder than the previous three.
"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Based on the book it should last until 2025.
This brought about an ongoing illegal coup against President Trump by Deep State government bureaucrats, which was aided and abetted by the corporate media and Democrat party.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And more than a few REPUBLICANS!
It was not possible for the Democrats to steal the election without Assistant Democrats.
The Progressive philosophy has been shown to be bankrupt. It depended on a moral people, whose morality came from Christianity.
No, with paganism in vogue, there is no morals for the Progressives to see as common and inherent.
They have devolved into simplr will-to-power tyrants.
I suspect this turning is taking longer, because people are living longer, and those entrenched in power are more completely in power.
The federal government had far less power the previous three turnings.
I think it will be interesting, and there may be cause for optimism.
The Progressives have skated along for many decades as “The Good Guys” and they can point (if they choose) to Christian figures like Martin Luther King to bolster their claims to be “on the right side of history”.
But, as you say, their ideas have been shown to be bankrupt. They are not the Good Guys. I think more people see it. They haven’t solved problems, but they have created many. They don’t like Men, they don’t like Conservatives, they don’t like Christians, they don’t like Heterosexuals, they don’t like successful people — the Progressives are strongly opposed to AT LEAST three-quarters of the population.
So what happens next? Again, as you say, they are will-to-power tyrants and they are making a naked grab for power. That’s all they care about, and I think people increasingly see it.
What happens if the lies about the pandemic cannot be sustained? What happens if the lies about the election cannot be sustained? What do they do next?
I do NOT think we’re voting our way out of this. Will we all just surrender to tyranny for 70 years like the Soviet Union? Or will it go Hot?
The book of Jeremiah is almost current, given our present circumstance.
God is using the same ethnicity of people He used to accomplish the above. He's using them to bring down Western Europe (which nations began, ostensibly, as Christian).
With the current usurper in office, we're also being flooded by that same ethnicity of mongrel ragheads. Cf. Daniel 4:17.

It's a long way down.
There’s probably a sermon or two that could be written about America..
Its original 13 colonies and its prophetic picture of Christ and His 12 disciples government.
Its 50 states and the number 50 of Pentecost and the birth of the church.
Any issues America is having is not an accident.
It’s prophecy.
It’s symbolic of the issues of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, the church.
The bible hints that the serpent was going to enter into the church, even lead it for some time.
If America began with 1+12 like Christ, and has 50 states, like the Church 50 days and Pentecost, it’s going to be shadowing the church and any issues it has, under the influence of Satan.
That is, until Satan gets his tail grabbed, and the shepherd and priesthood staffs return to being proper staffs.
The first sign that is needed for an unbelieving Israel to believe.
Lots of people proclaim America isn’t in bible prophecy or end times.
Given the start and current makeup of America, they would be mistaken.
Or maybe even go as far as to say deceived by Satan.
A premise of so goes the church, so goes America, isn’t far fetched.
It’s not going to preach in lots of places.
But it also means modern Christianity isn’t the Truth it proclaims.
It’s influenced and leavened completely by leaven and doctrines of demons.
Satan loses in the end.
So does his doctrines of demons
America should be the safest place to be because of the foundation that its founding proclaims.
Christ’s government and Christ’s called out assembly.
Completely corrupted today but not without hope and a promise of a future Kingdom where Satan is locked away.
