And in the absence of those Christian institutions, we need a stronger state to essentially engage in the very thing that like,
voice-verified
traditional conservatives most, not most fear, but I would say most objected to, central planning, central economic planning.
voice-verified
And so accepted central economic planning to rebuild and rebuttrous sort of the institutions of faith and culture, et cetera, which is a little bit different from Elizabeth Warren, but a lot of the similar policies that they would pursue.
voice-verified
And so there's a few things that are kind of weird about that, more than a few.
voice-verified
One is,
voice-verified
The notion that the 1980s were some sort of time of robust, strong Christian institutional presence in American culture.
voice-verified
Guys, no, no, no.
voice-verified
I mean, I will tell you, being a high schooler in the 1980s,
voice-verified
You would much prefer Christian parents, your kids in a public high school in 2023 than 1983 or 2026 to 1986.
voice-verified
I'll just tell you that right now.
voice-verified

voice-verified
You can join Young Life.
voice-verified
You can join all kinds of organizations.
voice-verified
You're going to have a Christian community there.
voice-verified
Number two, you're going to have a whole lot less drug use.
voice-verified
You're going to have a whole lot less sexually libertine behavior.
voice-verified
You're going to have a whole lot less violence.
voice-verified
than in the 1980s, a whole lot less.
voice-verified
And so this idea that the 1980s were some sort of nirvana for Christianity, I mean, think of it like this.
voice-verified
The divorce rate was substantially higher in the 1980s.
