Indeed. He was still on his throne in AD 70 when the Temple and Jerusalem were DESTROYED. He was on his throne when Sodom and Gomorrah got toasted. And America has drawn his ire. God will not save us; we deserve what is happening now. We let these totalitarians get control. They will have their way with us, if we cross their path.
You blaspheme God when you say flatly “God will not save us.”
God will save us IF WE ARE WILLING TO BE SAVED. The people in those situations weren’t willing.
The onus for a lack of willing souls is in fact largely on the watchmen today. The watchmen are preaching gospels of a nice society when they should be preaching gospels of going to heaven (and what good happens on earth as a side effect is simply God’s bragging rights).
This is John 3:16 101 stuff. You can take your fatalistic “God” and heave him out the window where he deserves to be.
God will save us if we ask Him, recall he was willing to spare the cities if there were only a few righteous men there. As for the Totalitarians, they were (allegedly) elected, and often passed their laws by popular acclaim. (Even Hitler was voted into office by an incredible majority).
They talk a good game, they know how to lie, how to offer what people want and tell them what they want to hear. (We'll keep you safe, we'll feed you, we'll provide you health care, we'll keep the trains running on time, just put on these chains...and people do it willingly, even eagerly.)
Now, that those who would not learn from history are becoming it, the true colors of the thieves of Liberty are showing through the thousands of cracks in their facade, and hopefully that facade crumbles before it takes general armed conflict to restore the Republic.
There are two camps, and the break between them started long ago, but I felt it happening in earnest in the last decade, just as when Duh-1 was elected, I knew it was wrong.
