America is going to be taken into Captivity per prophesy [as a country with descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel].
========================================
Captivity according to the Bible is one taken in war. Captives were often treated with great cruelty and indignity
( 1 Kings 20:32 ; Joshua 10:24 ; Judges 1:7 ; 2 Sam. 4:12 ; Judges 8:7 ; 2 Sam 12:31 ; 1 Chronicles 20:3 ).
Captivity is the state or period of being held, imprisoned, enslaved, or confined.
In those societies with captives, the norm is not the permanent alienation of nor dishonor for captives, but rather the transformation, via indoctrination and adoptive kinship, of captives into group members.

Captivity is the condition of being trapped or confined. Animals that are kept in zoos are in captivity. A prisoner is in captivity, and a kidnapping victim is also in captivity. If you catch a firefly and keep it in a jar, its life will be one of captivity until you let it go.
Thralldom refers to a state of bondage, slavery, or servitude, where a person is under the control of another. It signifies being enslaved or subjected to another’s domination. The word is closely related to “thrall,” which describes a person in such a state of bondage.

My Opinion is that we are already on our way to authoritarian [favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom and is power is concentrated in the hands of one person or a small group, include monarchy, oligarchy, dictatorship, and theocracy. ], or a fascist government [a far-right political ideology and movement characterized by strong authoritarianism, nationalism, and a dictatorial leader. It often involves a belief in a natural social hierarchy, suppression of opposition, and subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation.]
