Colossians 1:17: “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” This implies that without God and outside God, all things fall apart.
Without God, nothing can hold together, that's why the US is being torn apart and divided in every way possible through left/right politics, policy, gay, mass illegal migration etc. because the people are not united in heart to their love and worship of God. The fundamental value of the US is freedom, which is fine but freedom as an end just leads to people doing their "own thing" and that "own thing" turns out to be satanic-pedophilic-cannibalistic-child-sacrificing or whatever degeneracy they want to "freely" do. Freedom is good but it cannot unite a country, only in God can a country actually hold together without disintegrating into civil strife. Same thing with Europe, these muslims do not have a love of Christ as God and things will simply accelerate into all-out civil war / WW3.
Understand the concepts of ultimate and proximate. God is ultimate and Sovereign. Yet, He always works through means. An election is a means. To say that elections solve nothing is to say that means solve nothing. But, means are all we have.
I'm reminded of the story about a man stranded on the roof of a house during a flood. He prays that God will save him. A helicopter comes and offers to rescue him. He declines saying, God will save me. Another helicopter comes with the same result. Then another. The man is finally lost in the flood. In heaven he asks God why He didn't save him. God answers, "I sent three helicopters."
Trump is a helicopter. Get on.
