It IS very depressing, isn’t it?
Still, I wonder how much of that is propaganda/lies.
The media, being made up of primarily Leftists, with a fervor almost like a religious movement or a calling, really do believe that the end justifies the means.
So, has the public common sense degraded so much, or does the media lie to make it appear so? Are votes really being cast for those who win, or are the votes counted a “certain” way? Do they cheat?
Still, the end result is the same...
Maybe humanity is just flawed, and true freedom is only a temporary thing.
Humanity surely is. That is in the Bible. True freedom is found only in Jesus, and that is not a temporary thing.
However, earthly political freedom is practically a one-in-a-million blessing and comes only when people look to God and His pattern for humanity - as our Founding Fathers did. They won and established a one-in-a-million country but as John Adams said, "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Of course, since we now have thrown God out of the affairs of our corporate life (Supreme Court cases, early 1960s, and notably Roe v. Wade), we are eating the fruits of our own corporate wickedness. We cast God out of our National life and so He is apparently acceding to our wishes to go it alone without Him. The result is the wickedness, chaos, and seeming insanity we see daily around us.
