Midterm Elections: Hastening America’s Downfall

America’s midterm elections last week marked a disaster in the nation’s history.

In 2024, President Donald Trump’s victory was a miracle. Since then, even though Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress, they have accomplished very little. Now, just two short years later, control of both the House and Senate, and that of several American states, has gone to the Democratic Party, which is more radical than it has ever been.

Time will prove that these elections are going to hasten America’s downfall.

Anyone can recognize something is dreadfully wrong in this country. America is being cursed!

Given the dangers rising in this world, we need strong leadership. Times have never been more dangerous for America. Donald Trump appeared to be the only one willing to confront Iran after almost 50 years! But many Republicans opposed him, and the voters punished him for the war. Do you think a government dominated by antiwar politicians can save America from its enemies?

The election of the Democrats, I believe, reveals the desperate lack of will in our people. This election sent a message to terrorists just as surely as Chamberlain sent a message to Hitler when he traveled to Munich before World War ii and accepted a paper promise of “peace for our time.” Most of the British people were hysterical with joy! But oh, how short-lived that “peace” was.

President Trump has not been successful in Iran, but at least he used some measure of force. He could have achieved more if our people had supported him. Now even more extreme leftists will dominate our government. This will be a deadly curse!

An Antiwar Election

In these elections, the United States surrendered to Iran, the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism.

The Democrats vehemently attacked President Trump over the war, but they have no plan to fight these raging enemies. They dismiss the nuclear threat Iran poses. Tehran is run by madmen and is the obvious king of radical Islamic terrorism—yet Democrats do not comprehend the seriousness of this situation. Even most Republicans do not!

Vice President JD Vance has openly voiced his opposition. The day after the elections, he wrote that Republicans lost because of the Iran war; he said a major reason Trump voters turned to Democrats was that they want to “change our relationship to Israel.” This is the vice president, a man trying to position himself to become president and shape the future of the Republican Party!

They are unwilling to defend our only true ally in the Middle East, Israel, against a terror regime. They don’t even view radical Islam as a threat. How can they defend this nation against an enemy they don’t even believe exists?

After last week’s election, the speaker of Iran’s parliament wrote, “Americans said no to war, and we endorse this message.” They are calling Trump’s defeat a victory for Iran. America doesn’t see the victory it has handed to Iran, but this man does.

We are in a war against terrorism, and top terrorist leaders are rejoicing and celebrating with the Democrats. What is happening in America? What does this mean?

Democrats and even some Republicans attacked President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, calling them warmongers. But the fact is, as imperfectly as they have conducted their campaign against Iran, their efforts have given the world a respite from the threat of nuclear annihilation! Yet Americans voted against it.

This is why Iran and its terrorist henchmen rejoiced when President Trump was politically punished.

Have you considered why terrorists would be happy about the electoral success of the Democrats? Could it be that President Trump made it difficult for Iran and the terrorists to attack America? Could it be the terrorists are excited because they know the Democrats will have a soft approach to radical Islam?

The midterms raised the number of Muslims in Congress to eight. Since January, New York City, the site of 9/11, has had its first Muslim mayor. Even politically, these are the most radical politicians in the country! And their religion is antithetical to America’s founding principles.

Many Republicans seem to be where Democrats were 20 years ago. We have people opposing Israel more than Iran.

Former President Barack Obama heavily criticized President Trump and Mr. Hegseth in October, calling the war unnecessary. Obama claimed that the Iran nuclear agreement he reached during his presidency prevented Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. “I didn’t have to fire a missile to do it. I just had to engage in diplomacy,” he said.

Winston Churchill was also vilified for warning against Hitler and Nazi Germany before World War ii. But we fail to learn from our own history.

Obama also ridiculed Hegseth’s attempts to reintroduce masculine standards in the armed forces. “How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking at himself in the mirror in the morning?” Obama said. “I mean, he’s, you know, he’s working his hair because that’s how warriors look.”

America is surrounded by nation-destroying crises. In this evil world, America’s strong military has saved it from destruction. Obama has sought to undermine this power, and he ridicules those who seek to uphold it. Is this the time for our leaders to be joking about these problems? Remarks like this show a failure to comprehend the gravity of the crisis threatening the United States. We need to realize that this party has been infiltrated and is being taken over by America’s enemies!

Loss of Will

God is cursing America today by removing quality leadership and destroying the collective willpower of the people. In Leviticus 26:19, God specifically warns that if we disobey Him, He will break our pride in our power and take away our courage to stand up to our enemies. This prophecy is unfolding right now—just as deadly threats are mounting and threatening our peace and well-being.

In this past election, God took away a leadership that, at least in part, was prepared to confront these threats, and He allowed it to be replaced by even more antiwar, morally bankrupt leadership.

America is facing a kind of war unprecedented in its history. A terrorist attack could occur at any moment, in any location, but our leaders refuse to acknowledge the threat of war.

Winston Churchill believed that the test of greatness is war. “All great struggles of history have been won by superior willpower wresting victory in the teeth of odds,” he wrote in Marlborough. “The story of the human race is war” (emphasis mine). Churchill knew that possessing strong willpower is critical to winning wars.

When the American people handed Democrats control of Congress, they revealed their unwillingness to stand in the face of adversity. They exposed a massive deficit of willpower and determination!

In 1938, one of Britain’s lords wrote in a letter to Churchill this comment, which shamefully applies today: “The public is so terrified of being bombed that they will support anyone who keeps them out of war. I always knew they had no desire to stand up to the dictators, and I always knew that when there was a sharp issue of peace or war, 95 percent of the electors would rally to the peace policy, however humiliating such a policy might be.”

The Democrats’ post-election celebrations will be terribly short-lived. A person has to know only a little bit about leadership and history to know that this nation cannot handle the problems it is about to face!

Iraq’s late dictator Saddam Hussein once said, “You Americans can’t take the blood.” He was right! The majority of Americans have proved that they cannot handle some of our soldiers—the best of our best citizens—spilling their blood. That lack of willpower means the nation is destined to die! Rather than a few soldiers, the blood of the whole nation will flow in rivers!
