“Between Palm Sunday and Good Friday, Jerusalem experienced a dramatic transformation in the popular attitude to Christ. The crowd heralded Him as the coming King when He entered the city on a donkey. Days later the mob called for His crucifixion even when offered a chance to have Him released by the Roman governor. My suspicion is that a significant number of the adoring crowd became the murderous mob. Today we call that a vibe shift.”
(Carl Trueman) With the second coming of Donald Trump, the phrase “vibe shift” has become a staple of current cultural commentary. The expression captures not so much the shift in the kind of policies that the Trump administration will implement as a shift in the ethos of America. The hectoring scolds of the progressive left have dominated public rhetoric for years. Now suddenly conservatives once despised as either stupid, evil, or both are starting to feel that this age might belong to them.
As a cultural conservative, I find much to welcome here. And as somebody who has spent much time speaking about, and talking to, the victims of transgender ideology, I rejoice that the political tide might finally be turning. Perhaps gender sanity is not the last vestige of a bygone era but the vanguard of a world about to be born. If the vibe shift carries society toward laws that protect innocent children from the hormonal and genital mutilation demanded by the political tastes of their parents’ generation, that is surely a matter for rejoicing.
The conservative voice and Christian content are being silenced more and more. CRN offers a lifeline to conservative people of faith who are disgusted with social media and the leftmedia for failing to report, even blocking, important news stories that don’t comport with the far left’s narrative.
