“And you would think members of our party would have figured this out by now. You would think it would be the most important and most discussed topic on conservative websites.”
I think the GOP wants social issues to go away.
I think they see social issues as losers in the long term.
The GOP isn’t going to be able to put together a social media wave. They don’t really care about social issues either way. They supported them when it suited their purpose but now they see the social issues and the social conservatives as an anchor around their necks.
Social and Fiscal are two sides of the same coin. You cannot have a sound Fiscal system without first having a Sound Social system.
If theft and murder are not immoral, then how is anyone going to be able to hold on to their wealth?
And believe me, the only thing keeping theft and murder from being common place is the inertia left over from being a Christian nation. The more that inertia is dissipated, the less inhibition people will feel about robbing and killing to get what they want.
Events that undermine the Judeo-Christian principles that hold it all together, simply accelerate the break down towards a Pre-Christian barbarism.
