This is exactly why democracy is evil, because it gives the wicked just as much say as the righteous.

But it puts the onus on the righteous to work hard to persuade the wicked to stop being wicked, so that there is a stable majority of the righteous who always outvote the wicked.
And if you can't persuade the wicked, such as for example in the racist slave owning planters in the South in 1865, then the righteous might have to use righteous force.
I agree. In a democracy all you need in order to do wrong is to achieve a majority in the mob to approve like has been seen in the past democrat mob lynchings of blacks without a trial.
That's the case regardless of whether it's a democracy or a monarchy.
Jesus said the majority is evil, wicked. Why would you want a system that guarantees that outcomes are determined by the majority, which effectively guarantees a system that is always in rebellion against God?

OK. But in America it's 'set up' so that when the righteous are a majority, then everything just goes so easily and smoothly.
Which chapter and verse are you alluding to? Let's see if it's verbatim or if you're interpreting His words.
Your conclusion is valid if Jesus actually did mean that always all majorities are "evil, wicked."
Otherwise however, my political ideology is going to remain America First and MAGA.
So let's see those verses.
Yikes !
What happened to love your enemies, and pray for them, and do good to them?
Sadly, that will never happen.
How about John 3:19..."And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness."
What percent of the world is John's "we"?
.000001%?
It's also set up so that that's almost never going to happen, and things will just go "so easily and smoothly for the wicked, because in majority rule, the wickeds have it.
I never said it was a verbatim quote. It's a principle taught throughout the Bible.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. - Matthew 7:13-14 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew7:13-14&version=NKJV
The majority of Israel's kings were wicked.
The majority of Israel's priests were wicked.
The majority of Israel rejected her Messiah, and so God cut them off.
Where did I say it was an absolute rule?
Your commitment should be to God and His word, not a political entity.

I disagree.
I believe the Bible. I need to see how this is an enduring principle that the New Testament isn't meant to overcome, because that's my view, and I don't see any scripture in necessary conflict with my view.
Granted.
What is your evidence supporting this claim? I grant that there were a lot of wicked priests but I stop short of therefore believing that "the majority" of them were.
Was it an actual numerical majority, or was it only a majority of their leaders, with many others, but not necessarily a majority?
You said, " Jesus said the majority is evil, wicked." What was I supposed to think?
False dilemma.
So what?
Debatable, but again, so what?
What?
Argument from incredulity is a fallacy.
God told the Levites that they would serve Him for eternity (Deuteronomy 18:5), and then, later, He ended their service to Him because of how wicked they had become. (1 Samuel 2:30-31)
No number is given, but the implication is that it was more than half of Israel that rejected her Messiah.
At least three cities are named by Jesus Himself as being unrepentant. despite Him doing most of His miracles in those three cities. Did some in those cities repent? Sure, I have no doubt that at least a few did. But the fact is that, as a whole, those cities rejected Him, and did not repent.
Did some in Israel repent, and accept Christ as their Messiah? Sure, but it wasn't enough for God to consider Israel as having accepted Him.
No, Paul talks about Israel as a whole (minus the remnant of course) as having rejected her messiah.
That He was correct.
No, it's not. A man cannot have two masters:
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. - Matthew 6:24 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew6:24&version=NKJV
What I said stands: Your commitment should be to God and His word, not a political entity, for God is eternal, and eternally good and just, but political entities, and even non-political entities, such as churches, businesses, and institutions, grow corrupt. When (not if) they do, your commitment to God should be your priority. But you're holding on to a commitment to a political entity that has already become corrupt...
Doug McBurney, on a recent show of The Weekly Worldview, referenced a passage from C.S. Lewis's The Great Divorce. I won't spoil the show for you, you can listen to it here, but I want to point out that you're like the man in the portion of the story that Doug tells from the book.

I'm listening to an analysis of critical race theory and it is critical to those evil people that they be allowed to corrupt minds as early as possible.
Wicked rebels against God have trained a whole generation of uncivilized children to hate God, hate Christians, hate American conservatism, hate truth and facts, and hate common sense.

ANY discussion of homosexual behavior should be prohibited, in ANY context. It should NEVER be brought up in discussion except as is relevant to a criminal guilty of such acts.
Yet another weed being pruned rather than pulled out.
How about love and affection?
