In the post- Reagan era of Republicanism, the only thing that was ever able to unite the factions of the GOP is war.
That is sad and sick, I know, but it's true.
From ultra-right firebrands like Bob Dornan to Republicans in name only like Mitt Romney and Larry Hogan, war- especially war in the middle east- has been the only issue on which they can unite.
I include in this the unholy worship of guns which has become a defacto war on us at home.
As much as our country needs some rest and optimism during these next 4 years, It's not going to happen.
President Biden's outgoing sucker punch to the world- allowing Ukraine to direct attack Russia with missiles- has put our world on the doorstep of WW III.
We all know that incoming President-elect Trump is too feckless to respond accordingly.
A Russia- China alliance cannot be far off and a war waged on us militarily, technologically and economically is one we have no hope of winning.
A country that has become obsessed with money, sex, power, narcissism and murder cannot be made great again.
MAGA, for all it's flag waving rhetoric, failed to address the deep problems of this nation that stem from a cold rejection of God and an embrace of a definition of freedom that is really license.
It is foolish to believe the next 4 years will do anything to help us avoid the coming iceberg.
The left cannot stop embracing the murder of our kids with abortion. The right does it with guns. The left worships sex, the right worships money.
Justice demands that we get our recompense.
Lord Jesus, Have mercy on us.
