Resting in Revelation 22:11?

People are panicking about the state of the world and the election and all that's going on but one passage that I find rest in is Revelation 22:10-12

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

and I look at people who are upset if at the end of all of the legal actions.. if Biden were to get sworn in.. I look at those saying that Trump HAS to get reelected or God's will isn't done like it's the end for the fight to life, it's the end of the peace process for Israel.. and I just think.. Revelation 22:11.. it is inevitable that these things happen, wickedness increasing, persecution, perhaps the end of religious freedom in America, more and more abortions, Israel being put into a state of war.. we can't solve those things through politics.. we were never meant to.
By no means do I think we should be accelerating all the bad things that were foretold to happen before the coming of our Lord... you fight against it to a degree, but when you lose a battle like this... you don't consider the whole war lost, because we already know who wins the war, we also know to expect to lose many many battles in the process. John 16:1
Is America going to fall as the world power and leader of the world? Inevitably. No earthly nation helps Israel in Ezekiel's war, so yeah, America either is unable to help or unwilling to help in that time. Either we collapse, or we don't care. Either way, America is not important, I don't have my faith in America.

Christians would do well to stay clear of politics and realize as God says that we are "ambassadors for Christ" ---which shows we are to only represent the one who sent us, as any Ambassador in the world would do in a another land. We ought to pray that God will put in power whoever He chooses to accomplish His purposes. One should be satisfied with that!
Let us be satisfied with Bible-only as our source of spiritual guidance. One might well begin with John 3; John 14; Romans 8; etc.

I suppose, I guess for me what Revelation 22:11 does is reassure that I am not morally responsible for other people's immoral behaviors. If I tell them the truth and they reject it, it's not my fault if they continue to be filthy.

That is true! Certainly we are not responsible for their choices, but at least we need to speak the Gospel: Matt. 5:14; John 9:5 ---would you say? Each one is responsible before the Lord, so let us be ready to show the love of God in speaking the Truth, as God expects of us as 'ministers of righteousness'.

Yeah, I just don't think we're meant to find political/legislative solutions to things like Abortion, Gun Violence, Drug Addiction, Racism, inappropriate contentography, Homosexuality, or Transgenderism. Only Jesus can solve those issues. Trump was in office for over 3 years, and abortion is still legal, inappropriate contentography still legal.. so it's not like we're electing political solutions to our moral problems.
