Jesus says: "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36)
And Jesus then said: "If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is MY kingdom not from hence." (John 18:36)

As
Christians our provision on this earth is supplied by God. I'm
convinced that as long as God chooses to leave me on this earth, HE will
provide for me. I do not seek provision from governments of men nor do
I seek provision from humans.
I believe what Paul said in the Bible:
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

I often see documentaries on TV concerning Hitler, Germany, and WWII.
The
German people were crazy in their avid devotion to Adolph Hitler. Even
up to the day Russia came into Berlin in 1945, the people of Germany
fought and many praised Hitler.
(It sadly reminds me of many of the followers of Donald Trump.)
Lies
and delusions prevailed and many in WWII Germany suffered greatly
because they believed a lie. The crowds worshipped Hitler and were as
mad men. They were swept away by a delusion.
I see the same thing in both political parties in USA at their political conventions that are shown on TV.
At
the Democratic Convention I saw a woman who was obviously a man but was
dressed in a woman's dress. She was on their platform and people were
obviously approving her.
I was terribly shocked when I saw the rioters break into the United States Capitol building on January 6, 2021. Never before have I seen a visible threat posed like this to democracy.
I have never been a political person. I believe politicians have to compromise in order to be elected.

This is what the Bible tells us to do:
1 Timothy 2
2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
I do pray for those in authority.
When Donald Trump was president, I prayed that he not use any nuclear weapons.
Concerning
President Biden, I prayed that he not do anything to get us involved in
a war because of Russian and Ukraine. Sometimes I pray for him to be
strengthened physically for he seems to have physical weaknesses.
If
you entangle yourself with a political party, can you pray for the
other party if they are elected? Do you learn to hate the other party?
Are you blinded into following the party and therefore become deluded
to truth.
I consider both political parties to be of this world.
I see both parties make laws which are opposed to scripture. I do not
expect them to be the church. They are the world, I just avoid the
subject of politics and do not allow myself to put my hope in men of
this world but I keep my hope in God.
I
do not vote for any human ... but I do sometimes pray for those persons
in charge that they would make decisions which allow us to live in
peace.
I am grateful for the 2 party system for not too much can get done because they keep each other in check.
Dictators demand loyalty and would not allow us freedom concerning Bible.
At
this point in time, I am allowed to speak any verse of scripture from
the Bible. And I am free not to be a member of either political party
and I do not have to vote.
In
NAZI Germany the people did not end up with this freedom. They had to
pledge their allegiance to Adolph Hitler. And the people who really
supported him looked upon him as a god and worshipped him and became
wild and crazy.
We as Christians
hope in God and we know the things in the Bible will come to pass and we
keep ourselves from becoming entangled in things of this world even as
we live in this world.
