Literal tyranny in our time

[Jito463]

I'm sure we've all seen the draconian measures implemented in places like China, Australia, Canada, etc., trying to force people into getting the jab. Even worse is the level of propaganda being pushed on people, like this horrifying clip (at the bottom) of kids being used to push the idea that the unvaxxed should be criminalized.

However, things aren't looking so good here in the States, either. A new Rasmussen poll (and I do acknowledge that polls are largely unreliable, but it's still worth noting), reports that:

– Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Democratic voters would favor a government policy requiring that citizens remain confined to their homes at all times, except for emergencies, if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

More than half of the polled Dems think we should be locked up if we don't get the jab. On the flip side:

Such a proposal is opposed by 61% of all likely voters, including 79% of Republicans and 71% of unaffiliated voters.

While I'd like to say those numbers are promising, I'm still concerned that there are that many - regardless of political affiliation - that think this is okay. And on top of that:

55% of Democratic voters would support...a proposal for federal or state governments to fine Americans who choose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

And if locking us up in our homes wasn't enough:

Nearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.

And finally, we get to the Australia method:

Forty-five percent (45%) of Democrats would favor governments requiring citizens to temporarily live in designated facilities or locations if they refuse to get a COVID-19 vaccine.

And here's the video I mentioned.

That's terrible. Thankfully we have lots of conservatives in this country.

At the end God's will will be done:

Psa 33:10-11 NKJV - 10 The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; He makes the plans of the peoples of no effect. 11 The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart to all generations.

[Nicodemus1968]

God will judge this country.

Yet, the church is going to prosper, even through the hardest of times. Jesus will provide for his bride.

We can all understanding the dividing of the country, but we're also seeing the dividing among brethren (believers) as well.

I seen a preacher quoting all these statistics about how many preachers during the covid pandemic have decided to either quit the ministry all together and or resign. How UPC church attendance in churches comparing pre pandemic to post pandemic is like 60-70% back to what it was. Some Churches are only having services twice a month, Ive heard this phrase, "internet revival", a church in California is now baptizing people in another country over FaceTime, the person self dunks, and the person on the phone says, "I now baptize you in Jesus name".

I find that more alarming than the direction this country is going.

There is coming a division among believers from that believe and those that play church. And God will let you choose what side you're one.

Brother, will you provide some documentation to the church in Cali doing baptisms this way? I would like to know more.

Conservative? That’s not the saving grace.

You are right, but at least they have some leverage to keep some conservative representative in congress, and appoint conservative judges once in a while. It contains the evil at least a little bit, for now.
Is it sufficient? no. I'm just comparing to other countries where the progressive population is so overwhelmingly large that there is literally no restrain.

Conservatism is good at conserving gas as we drive off the cliff.

"Democrat voters" are basically communists.

Everyone loves a witch hunt... as long as it's the other side's witches being hunted.

That's so true.
