John 3:16 KJV: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Blessings in Jesus' name, brothers.

This thread is for biblically-informed and prayerful efforts at making sense of the upcoming US elections, and it's citizens responsibility before the Lord. 'Alien' perspectives lovingly appreciated.

Based, and a sobering start.

>remove religion
>promote degeneracy
This is the part I can't stomach. How many will not be lost to the current state of things and their triumphant brokenness. I feel it in my heart that I have to be open to the possibility that righteous people exist at God's pleasure, everywhere and nowhere, in every niche of the socio-political landscape but for the most egregiously demonic. Test, with patience and loving kindness, because Jesus said so. I pray that our civility stands on His spiritual reality, and not on any secular reason. This is how the people of the God prepare to look at worldly things without becoming worldly themselves. Amen.

Consider this, please. Both candidates are 777% what Schlomohomo wants. Both ostensively give a living demon like Netanyahu whatever he wants, among a laundry list of scandals. It may be the case that no institutional politicians would ever even become présidentiable without ((( their ))) blessing. I don't know what we should be doing about this, honestly. A Christian party? Aren't there too many already? Not in the US, but does that even matter? Any dealings with these people, whom we test as per the above, and most unfortunately, are literally jumping into a pit of spiritual vipers. Christian anarchist ways? I have an interest in prepper culture, though I'm too poor to even look the part. Thinking about their SHTF scenarios the Christian way requires daunting levels of sobriety. Martyrs' eyes. I hope Jesus gives me a heart for this moment, but the little I do now is to put things this way: how can I make it so that Jesus' name is said, known and remembered among people, however ((( they ))) might try (and Jesus said ((( they ))) will try, at some point) to erase and disavow His rightful and unconditional fear and love and surrender from humanity?

Just as the video in this anon's reply says, no matter what happens with this election or any elections thereafter, Jesus will win. The Word of God will be fulfilled. Of course, I am also aware that the outcome of the election will also have immediate and long-term effects on our current society, outcomes that have the potential to bring some amount of pain and suffering. Even so, I'm thankful for this chance for people to learn/be reminded of this valuable lesson: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23 NKJV)."
People rely a lot on elected officials and leaders. Oftentimes, many will put these leaders on a pedestal, see them as untouchable, infallible. But of course, every single one of them is human, guilty of sin like everyone else. As the election process continues, and political candidates/leaders continue to make mistakes, I pray that people will turn their gaze upward to see the One who is truly infallible: our loving Father. 
Of course, if there is some way for the election to become more reasonable and less tumultuous, I would be very thankful.

Your reply is very thought provoking, thank you. Sadly I don't have answers to all of your questions, but I do have some thoughts. 
>I don't know what we should be doing about this, honestly. A Christian party? Aren't there too many already?
With how bipartisan and tribal the government has become, creating a Christian party would be pretty difficult. A good political strategy could be to support Christian activist groups that deal with the US government, and eventually, with time, maybe bring forth some independent candidate who doesn't belong to one major party or another. With support from others, he or she would be able to withstand better the pit of spiritual vipers that awaits anyone who deals with the current government. 
>Christian anarchist ways?
This could be a dangerous path, as some people could be tempted to become especially violent.
>I have an interest in prepper culture, though I'm too poor to even look the part. 
I agree that of course, we should not fear death. We should also be prepared and protect ourselves and those we love. So doing any sort of preparation for the worst case scenarios would be a great idea, no matter what happens. Even if its just putting together some sort of 3 or 5 day survival bag or storing a few containers of preserved water and canned food. 
>how can I make it so that Jesus' name is said, known and remembered among people, however (((  they  ))) might try (and Jesus said (((  they  ))) will try, at some point) to erase and disavow His rightful and unconditional fear and love and surrender from humanity?
Keep praying and studying the Bible, always. Share God's Word with those around you, even if you have to do it quietly, or if it's only to a few close people. In time you may reach more and more people. And even if (((they)) push back against you, there is no reason to worry, because again, Jesus wins.
