“This is not the end of America” What our fears about the future say about the future of our nation

Dr. Jim Denison: America’s founders were vitally aware of two competing realities. On one hand, as our Declaration of Independence declares, “All men are created equal,” an expression of the biblical fact that “God created man in his own image” (Genesis 1:27). At the same time, they knew that as fallen people, none of us could be trusted with autonomous power. That’s why they created three separate but equal branches of government, each holding the other in check. This system can produce gridlock and 50–50 political divisions that some lament, but as political analyst Yuval Levin has noted, it also ensures that all are represented and none can have an unfair monopoly over others.

Politicians and pundits on both sides of our deep partisan divide are warning us that if their party does not win tomorrow’s election, our democracy will be imperiled. Others are confident that this is not true. Renowned Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan assures us, “This intense season will pass, the losers will feel crushed, and we will forge our way through” as we have so often before. She reminds us that we’ve not given up on each other in the past and encourages us to keep our faith in democracy and in one another. Representing a different point on our political spectrum, McKay Coppins writes in the Atlantic, “This is not the end of America,” noting that democracy is less an institution than the people it serves.

On the eve of one of the most unique and consequential elections in American history, I’d like to suggest a third perspective, one that points to the hope transcending all that happens in and to our nation this week. More Here
