God is trying to tell people who are obsessed with “lesser evil” how to get “greater good” — and is getting rebuffed.
And so the problems will keep on ratcheting, ratcheting, ratcheting, until either the whole thing goes kablooey or else people are genuinely brought to their knees (forced or voluntarily).
But force is what THEY want.
Using force will justify ... you name it. Martial law, gun grabbing, etc. Clinton got four more years of power out of Oklahoma City.
