Moments in History
The debacle that was the 2024 election in the United States, which is now devolving into a garbage fire on considerable proportions, is an example of an inflection point in history.
For the Shmuley Myers universe, that was when Ralph Reed’s Moral Majority managed, in a lightning swoop, to pass the ill-fated constitutional amendment stating not only that life begins at conception, but also that citizenship is awarded at that time. Turning every non-live birth into a murder investigation, and triggering the kinds of anti-birth control, pro-taming and -controlling of women that even Margaret Atwood’s writings and the fantasies of religious extremists in the Philipines could not match.
I hope the American people veer from the absurdist Calvinist principles that have brought us to this precipice and embrace the idea that a plurality of views, religions, and mores beats the monolith of the fascism of the “majority” (or rich).
