The GOP or conservatives, to gain, will need to articulate a vision of human dignity that surpasses the worldly pablum of the day. And here is where the help of evangelists is needed. Of course this is still looking at it from a worldly point of view. From a Christian point of view, evangelism is good for the sake of the Lord that it is talking about, and a nicer society is a fringe benefit.
It is hard to provide dignity to adults who read at second-grade levels who have been told all along that they’ve done well in school; I include many of their college graduates in that group.
