The only logical and overwhelmingly clear conclusion to be reached from all of this is that the fate of our country rests solely in the hands of God.
Only Satan himself can pull off this level of deception, and ONLY GOD can free us from it.
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
