If progressive churches are any indication, the left seems unwilling and unable to self-reflect, moderate, and learn the delicate art of appealing to mainstream voters.
The left is fully given over to postmodern authoritarianism. There is no authority above the party. It has become a religion unto itself and will never come back from that. I think the right will keep expanding, the current left as we know it will wither and die, and then the right will have a schism of its own based on how much power they want the government to have.
Good piece, but this one line seems to go to the heart of the matter: "Are they going back to believing that the Bible is God‘s word and is authoritative?" How many Christians read the same bible and come to very different conclusions about the same verse, passage, or chapter? (John 6 comes to mind, et. al.) Jesus didn't give us a book. He gave us a Church. The Church gave us The Book, and the Bible itself points to The Church as "the pillar of Truth". Until we place things in their proper order, there will always be division and confusion within Christian ranks. We are meant for unity.
Great piece, as always. I always wonder where this attitude comes from. Is it a values thing? A lack of education? Don’t look now, but the GOP senators are trying to torpedo the MAGA agenda with some corrupt RINO majority leader. I guess some of us don’t learn.
