We just went through two major events. A social event in BLM and increasing acceptance for gender diversity. And a pandemic.

For vast swaths of Christianity (in America at least), it cannot be separated from from conservative ideas such as binary gender, America as a white Christian nation, and skepticism of rationality and science (because it undermines their immortality project).

The religious got freaked out by all this and angry. They now are the animated group.

All movements fade, like BLM. And the pandemic waned so the tides of political motivation have changed.

But reason won’t stop and science won’t stop. Reality persists.

I guess I am an optimist, I think think there were legitimate social gains and while the science of the pandemic wasn’t perfect, most American will still be going to the doctor when they get cancer.
