I'm not certain what to make of this. The Scriptures were never meant to develop a political philosophy. The Scriptures are meant to show us our Savior and the life and salvation given in Christ. Anytime we try to make the Scriptures into a political manual or self-help book, we are misapplying the purpose of Scripture. The only freedom with which the Scriptures is concerned is the freedom from sin and its consequences. Anyone that sins is a slave of sin. Christ and the Gospel transcends politics. Our freedom comes from God, not from earthly kingdoms.

I must not clearly understand your meaning. Either God provides for us in our thinking and application of faith in every facet of our lives or His Word is insufficient to address how we are to address political perspectives. I’ve always found His Word to provide more than adequate guidance in how we may address all facets of life. His Word is more than merely a spiritual handbook for only our spiritual life.

(Adversity in life and death is inevitable. Thru faith in Christ, stress is optional.)
