The Declaration of Independence
In The Declaration of Independence, we are told that government will govern with the consent of the governed. With that thought in mind, you must understand this; it makes no difference who leads this nation. As long as Christians continue to act as they have in the last few decades.
You see the ones who govern our nation will govern the way the culture of this nation demands. Regardless of who is in charge, Republican or Democrat, it makes no difference, the laws that are passed will reflect the morals of the people.
If it is true that righteousness exalts a nation, it must also be true that unrighteousness will bring destruction to a nation. We are living in unrighteous times. And we see daily the detriment that unrighteousness is having on our land. Many blame the president or the Supreme Court for the evil that seems to prevail today. But I tell you, they are not to blame. They are simply governing with the consent of the governed.
Where does the blame lie? It lies at the feet of selfish children of God who are more concerned with their own comfort and preferences that they are for their lost neighbors. It lies in the hearts of Christians who think that the church was created for their benefit and not for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. It lies at the ugly feet of those who refuse to share the gospel and take the Good News to the ones who need to hear our report.
So, when the unimaginably wicked laws are passed understand this. The government will govern the way culture demands. If the laws are wicked it is because the culture is rotten. If the culture is rotten, it is because the salt of your testimony has become useless, and fit only to be walked on.

Your post is right on the mark and the laws are wicked because the culture is rotten and antichrist rules the nation at the present time…if you know your Bible, you can understand this …but the thing is, we want to avoid any suggestion that it is the responsibility of Christians to wrest control of their government and try to make it into a theocracy because that was never the mission of Jesus because his kingdom is not of this world… and all the backsliding and corruption that we are seeing today is the fulfilment of last days prophecies…and many there are who seek to enter into the kingdom of God but few there are who will find the way —because people are unwittingly looking in the wrong place for their salvation…trying to lean on their own works and their own ways …and the Bible itself says that there is a way that sees right unto a man but the end thereof is death. We have got to become less secular and worldly minded and more Jesus minded because Jesus is the only hope there is for real life.
