Political violence is a feature, not a bug of progressivism.
Because progressivism is built on top of a Critical Theory lens that sees the world through "Oppressed vs Oppressor" categories rather than a Christian Theology lens of "Right vs Wrong", it trains people to see opponents not as mistaken, but as evil oppressors.
If you believe someone is mistaken, you try to persuade them (what @charliekirk11 did).
If you believe someone is an evil oppressor ("literally Hitler!", "fascist", "existential threat to democracy", virtually everything and everyone is "racist"), you will feel a moral obligation to stop them.
This is why there is radically disproportionate violence emerging on the Left.

“The Bible says to feed the poor.”
Them: “We’ve got to follow the Bible and do what Jesus said!”
“The Bible says marriage is between one man and one woman.”
Them: “Bigot! Handmaid’s Tale! Separation of church and state! Religious oppression!”

Abortion is the sacrament of progressives’ religion.
“This is your body which I sacrifice for me.”
You can equivocate on the 2 parties in the US…and you can opine about how to think of “two evils” or whatever
But the truth is they are VERY different. (The left knows this BTW.)
You can work with imperfect groups that accept reality. Others (Dems) must be rejected.
Well, congrats, Texas Christians who chose to not vote. Or dissuaded others.
Power will be had by someone, and they will enforce some form of morality. It is NOT wrong for Christians to pursue this type of power for good ends. It is right, even.
If not, you get this.
Attorney General-elect Nathan Johnson says he won’t sue out-of-state doctors who mail abortion pills to Texas.

The thing we were told would never happen is happening. Shocker.
This is why you ignore the people who complain about Christians and the “culture war.”

It’s almost like none of this about cost of living or gas prices.
It’s about lawfare and punishing their opponents. Period.
Sadly too many gullible people fell for it.
Remember when we were told that “no one wants late term abortions up until birth”?
Perhaps one lesson we can learn is that there is no such things as a moderate view of abortion. Or moderate democrats.
Sadly, this is true.
Nothing that has happened since has dissuaded the left against such acts.
I expect political violence to increase.

Calling the Church to live out Christ's supremacy in every sphere of life and warning the world to repent before God's judgment falls *is* our lane.

Vote to advance as much righteousness as possible, trust in the supremacy of Christ above all earthly powers, and remember that “history in its entirety and in its parts corresponds to the counsel of God and exhibits the glory of that counsel.” — Herman Bavinck
Evangelical talking heads: *punch right and pander left*, never criticize Democrats or their policies, and encourage evangelicals to disengage from politics (lest we betray the Gospel.)
Same talking heads: “why are the Democrats leading in polls?”

More than 500 years ago, a monk named Martin Luther started a protest that exploded into a worldwide movement.

"The question has been discussed among those who subscribe the 1689 whether the New Covenant is the Covenant of Grace. I have come to that opinion myself."
