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.
Undoubtedly the Lord will spare His people in America (certainly from the 2nd death), but even so, America could fall and be conquered by her enemies. And America would be entirely deserving, and undoubtedly Israel was when she was conquered, along with the righteous who were in her.
By the way, I think West Monroe, Louisiana will be on the "spare" list :-)
