Mat 7:21-23 (NET)
Judgment of Pretenders
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of heaven—only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. 22 On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many powerful deeds in your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Go away from me, you lawbreakers!’

The answer to the above question is "No". At least 40% of the population has been supporting evildoers with their votes for almost two decades, and things have only become worse recently.
This fits in with Bible prophecies which essentially say that seducers shall wax worse and worse in the last days. What we are now seeing with the COVID tyranny is the preparation for the rise of the Antichrist, following which God will pour out His wrath on this earth. In the meantime, Christians can (and should) focus on the preaching of the true Gospel and the harvest of souls. Those who talk about a revival in the future are simply promoting delusion.
This may or may not apply to the United States. It was directly applicable to the nation of Israel, and as we know from the history of Israel recorded in Scripture, it did not go into effect, and there was no national repentance. Indeed Israel went into Assyrian and Babylonian captivity, following which Rome took control of Palestine. Then Israel was dispersed because of the nation's rejection of Christ and the Gospel.
All of this sounds rather gloomy until we see that God has already revealed to us that following divine judgments on this world, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself will establish His literal, physical and spiritual, tangible, and visible Kingdom on earth and reign over it eternally. From God's perspective on time, only about six days have elapsed.
Also, while God ALLOWS evil to flourish on earth, He does not condone evildoers. They will receive their just desserts at the Great White Throne Judgment. And those who had received more light but turned away from it (such as a large number of Americans) will be judged more severely.

I think these forums represent a fringe group among the saints. Most of you will never hear anyone in your churches discuss the topics in these forums.
If you are not mindful of that you might get a wrong view of reality and think that people in your church are like people in these forums but you are probably the only one in your church like you.
In real life I hope we are not conversation monopolizers and spouters of our opinions and instead are asking people about themselves and listening and showing that we care about them, and loving on them. That is what most people need, not our opinions about things that really don't matter to them.
