How Moral Relativism Ushers in Moral Repression

Pro-abortion feminists who vote militant Muslims into power shoot themselves in the foot.

The most striking ramification of the recent U.S. midterm elections has little to do with who gained power and more to do with why the amoral chose to hand the reins of political control to those whose religious and political ideology is committed to moral absolutes  —  so much so that, if given the chance, they’d be willing to kill to prove it.

During the 2026 midterm elections, religious extremists were placed into positions of power by those who believe that Christians — who believe in free will — are responsible for denying the right to kill their offspring.  Somehow, in their usual subjective mentality, some voters were deluded into believing that religious extremists who are not of the Jewish and Christian traditions would somehow tolerate whatever lifestyle or murderous choice they promote.

Issues like “reproductive rights” benefit those who adhere to an extreme spiritual authority when it comes to getting elected, but that’s where the coalition ends.

Under Morsi, the promise of democratic freedom gave way to expanding presidential authority, religious persecution, and violence against dissenters and minorities.  To date, this newly elected senator has not publicly condemned the atrocities........
