Firstly, we are not talking about "God's People."
Secondly, I had Romans 1 in mind where God simply lifts his hand of Common Grace which restrains sin and allows mankind to freely pursue the lusts and desires of the flesh in full abandonment, That seems to be going on right now and yes, this was the judgment of God on a society in which Paul was speaking.
And the only real differences between Republicans and Democrats these days is that the Democrats want to take your money and guns away from you while you live with moral abandonment and the Republicans want to let you keep your money and Guns while you life with total moral abandonment!
Everything else that follows (hail mingled with fire, famines, pestilences, Etc.) are simply the natural consequences.
