People should know better. Christians in particular. Unfortunately, and to the point of this book, churches, church leaders, and prominent pastors (along with high-profile leaders of faith-based organizations) took their cues from culture and vacated the middle.

We did what everyone else was doing, pretty much the way they were doing it. We sided publicly with a party and a candidate—and defended both regardless.
