I think anyone who really meant that statement would have by now also thought of a third option - emigration to another country. In fact, that should be the first option that comes to mind when someone decides to divorce himself from the USA.
Love it or leave it - even when it makes itself God over this people?
That’s a breaking of the first Commandment: idolatry. Perhaps one of the many reasons this people willingly succumbed to hedonism and tyranny; allegiance to the country first and not to God.
So if I understand what you are saying - if we choose to divorce ourselves from being slaves of this regime, and if we would have God as our Sovereign - then we need to leave this country we were born into if we want to continue to worship God and not the state?
To paraphrase a few great statesmen in regards to party; we did not leave the country - the country left us.
A ‘love it or leave it’ mindset makes my entire point about the seig-heil tyranny we are growing accustomed.
