Conservatives may feel politically abandoned after the latest elections—but the problem runs deeper than one party or one president. I argue that modern politics reflects a larger shift from asking what we owe one another to demanding what others owe us. That shift has helped create a culture of grievance, and it’s why Christians should place their hope in God and the Church rather than political leaders.
