Here's the lesson from the election, folks!
What we need is to impact the culture by changing hearts and minds. We have to shift the entire conversation and cultural values, not just gerrymander the platform. We don't need a bigger "tent." We need to make a more convincing case. That's what brings about real change. That's leadership. That's evangelization. And it rarely comes from a politician.
Does that mean elections don't matter? Of course not. They matter a lot. But if you want to change their results, the mechanism is not a political one. It's cultural. And politics rarely drives culture, it's almost always the other way around.
So stop worrying about how to change the politics and go sit down and figure out the next big way that you are going to change our culture for the better. How are you going to lead?
Figure that out and the elections will take care of themselves.
