I don't think the US was improving morally. I think the immorality was continually building.

The proverbial last straw has to be preceded by an accumulation of straws. I'd been paying more attention - not intensely but watching - the accumulating straws of degeneracy since the POTUS debates when the homosexual agenda first made it to that stage. That was an intensified moment for me based upon Scripture. Everything after that IMO while watching it was getting nearer & nearer that last straw. In a way it didn't surprise me that the sexual degeneracy issue became more and more pronounced. I'd been saying in any discussions on the matter that the real underlying agenda (not of all but nevertheless deep down) was not about marriage but ultimately about erasing God's creation in kinds - i.e. erasing God - and there was plenty more of that downslide that had to show itself.

America, it seems to me has been known to be the sleeping lion that you don't want to kick. I think Trump's win in 2016 caused the opposition to out themselves in their hatred for him and country and then 2020 on became the all-out kicking the lion period. I was actually surprised at how much and how fast the relatively covered became uncovered. We'll see how ferocious the new administration turns out to be in response. My prayers are that it is not shy re: bringing the Country back to law and order not to mention natural realities, efficiency, self-reliance, economic responsibility, etc. We'll see...
I certainly would not disagree with your view that "the immorality was continually building". In fact, I compiled a summary of how it was building that was posted previously but I will share it with you:

How We Got Here: A Summary

After declaring independence from England in 1776, winning it in the Revolutionary War and defending it in the War of 1812, slavery caused the Civil War in 1860 and then struggles for equality and the right for all citizens to vote threatened our unity. In the 1900s, dictators attacked freedom, provoking World War I in 1914, WWII in 1940 and the Korean War in 1950. Then the high cost and eventual loss of both the Vietnam War in 1973 and the War on Islamic Terrorists from 9-11-91 until 2019 divided and damaged our country. Today (2022) our nation that began as a republic established by the U.S. Constitution appears to be in danger of becoming an authoritarian socialist state.

While the history of wars against threats to our liberty is fairly well known, what is only recently becoming apparent is the threat our disunity will end in socialism, which now governs most of the world and almost every aspect of our society–education, entertainment, news, social media, banking and monopolistic businesses–corrupting politicians and elections. The main cause of this corruption is that following WWII America allowed subversive educators to infiltrate universities, including Herbert Marcuse and Marxist Saul Alinsky, whose book Rules for Radicals was dedicated to Satan and whose rules included deception and violence (the end justifies the means). The teachings of such radical professors has influenced many college students (including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama) to favor socialist policies. (See The War for America’s Soul by Gorka, p. 59-65.) Many Americans are oblivious to the slow disintegration of the Constitutional consensus, because the owners of most news media were similarly educated and sympathetic.

A main financier of the socialist movement has been George Soros, who became a billionaire, established a network called the Open Society Foundation to promote a global government, and since 2003 has been financing numerous socialist groups in the U.S. (See The Shadow Party by Horowitz & Poe, p. 78-95 & 177-82.) Another leader of the globalist cabal or “new world order” is Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum in 1971, which meets annually in Davos, Switzerland. He envisions a technological revolution that transforms the world (including America), converting humans who freely worship God into drones coerced by a fascist-communist state as in China. A prominent American participant in the WEF is Bill Gates. (See The Great Reset by A. Jones, p. 4-7, 28 & 95.)

The globalists began to conspire with communist China (the CCP) in 1978, when the Trilateral Commission befriended Chinese leaders and sought a New International Economic Order. Since then the CCP has pursued a clever strategy that has steadily weakened the U.S. as China gained power, currently on display as its military buildup, the COVID-19 pandemic, aggression against Taiwan and the “One Road One Belt” policy. It aims to surpass the U.S. and dominate Eurasia by the year 2049. (See Reset, p. 40-44 & War, p. 136.) And now, authoritative Biden administration dictates are weakening the U.S. and attempting to banish conservative Constitutionalist opposition. Much of the news media fail to report this truth, so that many people remain ignorant of the dissolution of the American dream of liberty for all (like frogs being boiled alive because the water temperature is raised slowly). Where will we go from here?

Looks again like you do a lot of homework. Much deeper than I go in such things.

There are several things going on that fascinate me. E.g. the new admin, tech and all its abilities and outreach, the forward-thinking minds that are working on such things, thus the sciences, a change or revived activity in Christians re: politics, and so on... In the meantime, for me it's mainly LGW while watching what He allows in His creation...

Well, I was motivated by serving as a Precinct Chairperson for the 2020 election to prepare a flyer for passing out door to door in the neighborhood pulling items from the sources cited (using the gift of editing :^)

"I think the people of California — they're willing to pay high taxes. They're willing to support things that maybe they don't necessarily agree with because there is a basic assumption that underlies it all, that our government is here to take care of us," he continued. "But now in a situation like this, when there's total mismanagement, when people are scared, when there's 0% containment, people are asking themselves a question, what did all those tax dollars go for?"

Are the devastating fires divine judgment on corrupt applications of atheist words to California's government?
