I’ll put the counterpoints in two perspectives, one you should understand given your strong understanding of the Bible.
1. We are in a war and wars aren’t won without a casualties or by one single battle. It is unrealistic to think that there won’t be moves made by the enemy that will result in setbacks and even death. COVID illustrates this perfectly. The elites unleashed a combination of a bioweapon, developed in coordination with other nation-states, flexed the influence held ar a state & local level to demonstrate the policies-state power held on major metropolitan areas under the guise of “public health”, and coordinated an economic plan to siphon & consolidate wealth via large multi-National corporations deemed “essential businesses.” These were devastating blows that we are still reeling from 2 years later. Even though Trump won on a strong economy, protecting our borders (look at DHS stats from 2018-2020), taxation, Supreme Court and appellate court appointments, COVID was a strong counterpunch by the elites.
2. You can’t fight something that remains in the darkness. During the first Trump term, he did a great job exposing the Democratic Party and the institutions they control (I.e. Wall Street, Academia, Hollywood, Media, etc…) as the enemies of the people they truly are. Yet it took COVID and the second impeachment to truly show the depth of corruption in the GOP, Healthcare, Judiciary, Voting System, and Military. Those are all additional battles currently being fought. I’m Feb. 2020, most conservatives still thought those institutions were relatively stable. They aren’t. Just as God tells us we have to bring our sin into the light to defeat it, the same holds for any type of darkness or corruption. While I don’t hold Donald Trump to the standard of a Believer, I know Gods principles always apply and he is sovereign over all.
In short, one term wasn’t enough. We have to bring the politica darkness (Fauci, woke Generals, RINOs, ,etc…) into the light if we want any chance of destroying beyond a very short period of time.
