At the same time, be grateful. I'm a boomer born and raised in the US. There has probably never, in the history of man, been a more bountiful and peaceful time in history. Incredible time on earth (certainly some people not so blessed and went/going through incredible pain and difficulty too - disease, murder and mayhem never stops).
What's the saying about having the wisdom to know what you can change? Go there. As far as the country and world "going to hell in a handbasket," of course that is lamentable, but it should not preoccupy your mind. CS Lewis, On Living in an atomic age is on this general subject. Apologies for the YouTube, but at least the reader has a good voice. I did not find a free text version -- life sure is rough!
We are living in truly historic times right now. But it's not the black plague, and it's not Herod killing all the firstborn, and it's not (at least for us) Genghis Khan. It's not even WWII.
The world is a nasty place. It belongs to Satan, mostly.
Not saying sit back, be happy, stop complaining. Rather, correct the balance so you are not mentally preoccupied in a bad place.
What can the public do? at some point, what I imagine is the ONLY effective action, massive civil disobedience. Hopefully a leader emerges who guides that effectively. I watched a fairly good and highly intelligent and determined man get the office of POTUS, only to be stymied by the people in the system, who refused to give up the control they wrongly hold. If POTUS can't "fix it," how can lesser? The silver lining in all that is the revelation to many more, just how rotten the institution have become over the last 50 or 80 years. Some of us have seen this for a long time - my epiphany came around 1980. The world is not as it seems, and is certainly not as "commonly presented" in education and media.
Well it’s in the peoples hands.......just how far evil can continue it’s march across our nation apparently still has not been enough to shake the hearts of it’s people back to God.....and the ‘faces’ of this nations people continue to change with the invasion over our borders.
......We now have Islamic Muslims running city hall entirely in Detroit....babies being butchered and we’re now exporting abortion, children left unprotected by society, and a huge failure of NOT convicting and punishing criminals. Our courts are nothing more than money bundlers by attorneys and corrupt judges. On and On.
If God isn’t finished with us I wouldn’t blame Him if He decided to....
It is insidiously worse than all of that.
