Thanks for writing this, very interesting review. The problem I see is that abandoning a Christian moral framework and a liberal political framework means abandoning the United States as a whole. And while it’s certainly possible (and eventually inevitable), I’m not persuaded that this post-America regime is desirable or that it would be better than what we have now. It would mean that we are in a Weimar scenario, with radical movements across the political spectrum vying for the regime. I would prefer to adapt and develop the founding principles to our current challenges. There is still a lot of good in this country and there is still hope for transcending our problems through culture war, changes to the law, and institutional reform.
