It’s the Democrats’ Turn in the Wilderness
By Lewis Dovland
Just like the Israelites in the book of Exodus (shemōt), on November 6th, the Democrat party entered The Wilderness. What does this mean for the party, for its intended programs, and more importantly, its self-esteem and ability to restore the party to a meaningful and sane role in American governance?
The Wilderness is a time for reflection and repentance, introspection, spiritual and mental cleansing, and confessing one’s sins, be they religious or secular sins. It can lead to a renewal of strength and spirit, with the person or group emerging stronger. Due to the Israelites’ “stiff necks,” God used it as a 40-year honing tool before letting them enter the “Promised Land.”
Human nature prevents people and organizations from achieving the wilderness mindset until they have reached rock bottom. That’s because, until they do, they keep thrashing about, trying to stave off the inevitable by rehashing the very items that caused their collapse. The left’s problem is that they consider themselves and their goals morally superior and virtuous—which, by extension, means everyone else is wrong. Voters, however, just rejected this ‘superior’ platform.
