The country has a myriad of problems that need to be addressed, and our lawmakers are busy debating whether or not men should be permitted into women’s restrooms. This issue is a perfect example of how secular progressives force an issue in their culture war and then critically label all those who want to stop them as “culture warriors.”

Pete, you know I love you and appreciate so much about you. Your take on the Mace and her space is spot on. But I think you're wasting emotional energy on RFK and Tulsi and the like. As Christians, we should never expect utopia on this fallen earth - as you know and passionately preach, our hope for perfection lies in an eternity that will far surpass the blink of an eye we're living here. Further, Romans 1 certainly tells us that we are devolving - we should have no expectation that "the next thing" will be more moral than the last. Finally, we have very loud modern-day Zealots on our social media airwaves who put far too much hope in Trump and even in America. When you consider those three things, I think you can find a right perspective on the potential of things to come in our country. First, the days of voting Republican or Democrat at the presidential level ended in 2020 - this election was about voting for an elitist establishment coalition of war and death or for a populist anti-establishment coalition seeking to return the republic to the people. I don't believe we will ever go back to the old way of viewing politics again. The anti-establishment coalition won precisely because everyone who voted for it had to compromise somewhere in order to facilitate the primary objective which was hope in restoring the republic. With that understanding, there is no way President Trump could use his coalition to win and then not deploy those people to the areas of government where they are most capable to return those areas to the people. Am I concerned about the personal character of these people? See Romans 1 - I don't vote for role models for my kids, I find those in my church and community. Am I concerned about RFK's abortion stance? Not really, it will remain at the state level. Am I concerned about his environmental stance? No, he's working in health (and he'll be quite busy). Gabbard and Musk and Vivek have warts, too, but I have to trust that they will be just as committed to restoring their areas of emphasis to the people, too. I just think it's not worth the emotional energy to fret over having imperfect, not ideal choices for these positions because (1) there are no perfect choices here and (2) our ultimate hope is in our Perfect Choice to come. I'm not even terribly optimistic that the Trump coalition can push back the nefarious forces arrayed against them/us - I tend to think our empire is sunsetting - but I AM 100% certain that there is a perfect kingdom to come.
