The new more middle-of-the-road Repubs may have pivoted away from social issues, but that doesn't mean they were right in thinking it was a good strategy to do so. They may have just won in spite of their pivot, not because of it. I do agree with the rest of your thesis. It will be very interesting to watch how this moment in time plays out.

I believe Aaron has pointed this out in the past, but Trump as much as he represents a Republican win, he does not represent a Christian win. I think in terms of Christian culture and Christian mores, Trump is far from being a leader on this. That is not to say he cannot provide a great bulwark for 4 years from the flood tide of negative culture. But that does not prevent a backlash, nor ensure culture gains during or after his presidency. I think of it more as a lull, than a success in stemming the tide of negative culture.

The tide is out, but that doesn't mean it won't be back.
