Finally. A good thread and accurate assessment about the election.
1. The debate continues over why Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris. So far, it seems to be centered on two related arguments. One is that the vice president didn’t do enough to appeal to white working-class voters and their concerns about the economy. So they voted for Trump.

I have a book to suggest. 😉 People will try to claim that heresy is the denial of something in an ecumenical creed or the like. But the answer is that a heretic is anyone that someone who claims orthodoxy/authority wishes to exclude and marginalize.
Okay help me out if you can: what is a heresy in the Christian tradition? What does it mean to *be* a heretic in this tradition?

@BrennanBreed The efforts to make this kind of descriptive claim in either case depends on reducing "Christianity" or "America" to a simple principle that is immune to and independent of the historical reality of each social phenomenon. I explain why that's a nonstarter in my book.
