Buddy you cannot see that you are already taking it (defeat) slowly, at the moment. But that is only temporary. The enemies of America have their weapons at the ready,now.
Do not count on God to defend you if you will not defend yourself.
Absolutely we can count on God to defend us.
What it physical is temporal, what is unseen is eternal.
If you’re thinking this world is the end all and be all of existence, you have a point but if you realize this world and our life in it is a blip in eternity, then even if a battle is lost, the war is already won.
Those who crucified Jesus thought they won. He looked defeated from a worldly perspective.
I would suggest reading (or re-reading) the book of Revelation to see how it ends and find out who really is defeated.
And just what do you propose we do to counter it?
What actions do you think we should take that we are not?
Don’t be just an armchair quarterback.
