Dear Ben,
America’s moral climate does not depend on politics. I’m the moral sense America is a true democracy. Meaning, that the country’s legal morals are produced by the citizens moral judgements. Identify with an American political party because of moral issues, is not Torah. It is not even politics. It is falling for politicians using religious sentiment to bait voters. You can blind yourself and say it is just democrats, but the truth is America has a serious failing of religious leadership. Our culture has been left to rot because of religious neglect. Not political interference.
There, I answered my question for you. And Charlie’s question as well. Though it is according to my opinions and not yours. Your points are clear and understood. I disagree with them. And you do not show how this answers the questions put to you.
