    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Good piece.

        The religious part of the right's coalition seems more able to compromise than the religious part of the left's coalition. I guess, because Christians have lots of practice compromising. Social justice advocates, not so much. And the social justice advocates fear "the right side of history" at least as much as Christians fear God.

        Education is extremely important.

            Yep.

            That's a hard one. It's a half-loaf question.

              What about it? They just elected a president who was careful to stay away from fundamentalist pro-life messaging.

                And the wokes voted for a guy who in April last year tried to limit the involvement of transgender athletes from competitive teams in certain cases.

                But my point was that I don't at all buy the idea that Christians as a singular group are "compromising." Like the wokes, it entirely depends on who you're talking about and in what context.

                  @Aqua-Letifer This thread is about the mainstream Democrat conference and its adherence to woke principles. You can try to find a recent RNC convention where they rally around fundamentalist pro-life messaging, or anti-gay marriage messaging, but I'm not sure you'd be successful. You might have to go all the way to a church for that. And then, only specific churches. But maybe I'm wrong.
