“Tyrants never give up.”
Correct, they have to be beaten back constantly. Being outvoted triggers them into breaking the law to get their way. It’s now a constant war and they aren’t going to stop. They have moved into assassinations and street violence.
This is what led to the schism in the United Methodist Church: despite being soundly defeated every 4 years for over 30 years, the LGBT crowd just kept submitting amendments to the Book of Discipline removing the prohibition on homosexuals being ordained, and hijacking every general conference from considering more important business, until finally WE (the conservative majority) ended up leaving our own denomination. My particular (now non-United) Methodist church hasn’t skipped a beat and it’s very liberating not to be having those arguments from the hierarchy (cuz there ain’t one).
