If the people elect the leader then the people are to blame.

I was taught (Catholic School ...yes am awaiting the hate I usually get when I say that anywhere) It's not a sin to ponder things, especially since there are like a million translations of said things to ponder.
That's different of course to outright stating you KNOW what God thinks, but it is not a sin to read and think about Gods words.

Human arrogance knows no bounds. They think they are God in the judgment of others.

I think there are two problems.
The first is that the bad people have the power, and Christians aren't willing to do what it would take to wrestle power for themselves. It might be different if it came to a straight up fight - open and honest. But we're talking about people who fight through foul means that would make a Christian cringe because you would have to go back on your principle and faith in a way to fight like a progressive does.
Look at Trump. He was in no way a Godly man. We all know that. He did immoral things in the past that would disqualify him often in many races, but Christians looked past that to vote for him because we also knew he would let us live our faith and uphold government in a manner so as not to impede us in doing so.
Progressives still don't want that fair fight. So maybe it isn't the that they have the numbers after all.
The second problem is that most Christians are of the lukewarm variety and are go-along-to-get-along. They've altered their faith to make allowances for so many things so the culture at large will leave them alone. They aren't standing up for the faith.
