America's Self Inflicted Delusion:
Poisoning the Political Mind:
At first glance, DNM's question was a hard one to discern, wondering how an America that was enjoying some of the best economic times in American history, indeed, modern civilizational history; and somehow, that was not good enough for the leftist secularist sensibilities who are living off the bureaucratic syndicate's raiding of the American Treasury funded by over taxation on the backs of the American middle class, the greatest economic engine of modern times. And yet, the 'deep state' figured out how to take advantage of all of that and still convince the masses this madness is good for them.
But the deeper message here is that no matter how good one might have thought a 'republican' administration had made things, there are no limits to the human pride driven tendencies that will be the death of America yet. It does not matter if America will yet achieve the rallying call to make 'America Great Again' in spite of the leftist secularist obvious desires to destroy all that President Trump had provided in terms of true American civil liberties and freedom; and the tragedy of America being lost to successive generations is an accomplished leftist goal; America will not transport one to Heaven.
In the nineteenth century, the beginnings of developing an America that did NOT want to rely upon a Divinely guided legacy began with the enemies of American independence still trying to over-throw the republic, the same ones that fomented the attempted dissolution of the republic under Lincoln. Does anyone see the similarities there? Being best buddies with one's mentor that had sworn allegiance to the racism that underscored the antipathies of dealing the death blow to Constitutional America. That is the 'deep state' in a nutshell. And more to the point, those enemies and their successors are here now!
We need to understand that America's destiny was not defined by humanity, even as we point to the phrase 'we the people,' we miss the main driver of the American presence in the world; it is the legacy of the Divine provenance that made America great. What does anyone think might happen when the protection that provided for America's advancement in a world that knows nothing but tragedy is gone and there's no more protection. Why does anyone miss the point that when America was made the world's policeman, this was chastisement from a spiritual perspective. All those thoughts are gone.
America is not the political entrepot into heaven; in fact, the religious freedoms and liberties were not guaranteed by human provisions, for if there were, there would be no problem. The problem is that such protections are provided from heaven and if that is not recognized, how is that protected on earth: clue: it is not. Therein lays the secret of America's greatness and the 'deep state' has managed to keep too many people in the realm of their darkened minds. By scriptural provenance, America's time on the hill from which the light of liberty shines is about over. The 'deep state' did not win, they poisoned us all.
