The election disaster? Social conservatives and hope

Since the election, conservative evangelical handwringing over the future has reached something of a fevered pitch. Al Mohler has been the loudest voice, pronouncing the election a “disaster” for social conservatives, a point that was repeated by my friend Denny Burk. And then Mohler repeated the point for the NY Times. I could dig out the lamenting tweets I’ve seen, but frankly I haven’t the time. My friend Gary dubbed it “freak out panic end of the world despair,” which to me about sums things up. Your mileage might vary.
