The World isn't Tired of Its Leaders, The People Are!

We are living in a new era, often called the Trump legacy, which marks a temporary but significant period in our history. As he and his team work to erase aspects of history, their pride ironically means that their actions—through division, deception, and lies—will be remembered in the pages of history. I believe that future generations will look back with regret on how we got here. It’s disheartening and disappointing that many Americans seem to accept behaviors that seem un-American, almost like barbaric practices from less developed parts of the world. I wonder if the descendants of the immigrants who built this country ever imagined that current generations would behave shamelessly as leaders of our society.

 

The new criterion for running for office is primarily based on comparing candidates' levels of truth, fairness, and God-fearing. What we are seeing is a question of who will follow a leader who is dishonest, unfaithful, and speaks lies. It is considered acceptable for individuals to be regarded as the harshest, biased, and thoughtless, as they are deemed qualified candidates. These are spiritual enemies of the Kingdom of God. Their lusts are unwittingly using them for money, power, and authority, and they are willing to sell their souls in this short life for an eternal life in fire.

 

American citizens for good government are exhausted because they feel trapped in a cycle of political dysfunction, misinformation, and partisan gridlock that undermines meaningful progress and erodes public trust. We watch as vital issues—like healthcare, education, infrastructure, and climate change—are reduced to talking points or political weapons instead of being addressed through thoughtful, collaborative policymaking. Each election cycle brings promises of reform and unity, but those promises are too often drowned out by divisive rhetoric, lobbying influence, and short-term political gain. Citizens who care deeply about integrity, accountability, and the public good are left feeling powerless and disillusioned.

 

This exhaustion is not apathy; it’s the fatigue of engagement without reward. Many have written letters, voted conscientiously, joined advocacy groups, or even run for local office, only to see entrenched interests prevail. The erosion of truth in public discourse and the normalization of unethical behavior among officials add to the sense of despair. In a system where transparency is murky and consequences are rare, faith in democracy starts to fray. The people are tired, and a reckoning is soon to come. Like a pimple on the body full of pus, it will eventually burst, ridding the body of the toxic mess. Vote!

 

Yet despite this exhaustion, the citizens remain committed. Their frustration is rooted in care. They continue to hope for a system where facts matter, leaders are held accountable, and government truly serves the people. Their weariness is not surrender; it is the quiet resilience of those who still believe that better is possible, even when the road there seems impossibly long. Yet, those who are faithful know that nothing is impossible with God and that He keeps His promises.
