I narrowed your scripture reference because i think it's important to recognize that the reasons so much is tolerated which never was is because people want to hold onto their own vices as well, thus approving others establishes the 'right" to do so in their eyes. Moral Relativism at it's best.
Which is why regardless of who is running for president - Conservatism as it was once understood, cannot survive as a relevant impact on a people and party, anymore than Christianity has impact in our debased culture. Conservatism is become irrelevant to most and lukewarm at best, having no real value in the minds of many and easily redefined to fit the norms of a debased culture.
The pillars of freedom rested on what we once knew as Principled Conservatism. Without biblical principles, morality and religion shaping an American culture and worldview - liberty itself cannot survive or exist in such an environment.
Which is why we have lost so much of it so easily and the majority do not even miss it or notice it is gone.
Freedom is slavery. War is peace. Shackles are bracelets of privilege. Conservatism is evil. Socialism is fairness.
And everyone adopts to the redefinition and a narrative to create perception becomes reality.
Conservatism is being redefined into what we once knew as Northeastern Liberalism, and the devolution will continue to render the meaning of what it once stood for, irrelevant.
