READ! This is my response to what we are seeing. YOU tell me what you think. Everyone welcome to push back. No judgement.
1. What do YOU believe is the real reason the conservative movement is fracturing right now? I believe the conservative movement is fracturing because the mask finally slipped. For years, people like me have watched the conservative world preach about principles—truth, sovereignty, protecting our own country first—while at the same time showing zero room for honest criticism of one specific foreign government: Israel. What’s breaking people right now is the blatant double standard. You can question America, you can question the church, you can question your own neighbor—but the moment you question how much money, loyalty, and blind support we’re pouring into Israel, suddenly you’re labeled:“liberal,” “pro-Hamas,” “antisemitic,” “naïve,” whatever. Meanwhile: - The house is on fire here. - People can’t buy homes. - Gen Z feels like there’s no future. - Everything is getting more expensive while wealth funnels to the top. And at the very same time, churches and “Christian” organizations are preaching unconditional support for a geopolitical state, not allowing any nuance, no critique, no honest wrestle. That tells people:“Your real struggles at home are secondary. Your pain is background noise.” So the fracture is not just political. It’s moral and spiritual. People are waking up to: - The Hegelian game of left vs. right: manufacture a crisis, manage the reaction, then use it to grab more power. - A church that feels bought—by donors, by seminaries, by political access, by a particular reading of Genesis 12:3 that is used to sanctify policy rather than send people back to the Word. The conservative movement is shattering because people see the hypocrisy: “You told me you were fighting for my family, my faith, my country. But when my convictions clash with your donors or your foreign policy, suddenly I’m the problem.” That’s the root. 2. Do you believe this meltdown is spiritual, psychological, intentional, ego, or a mix? What’s your blend? To me, it’s all of the above, layered:
