On the face of it, Christians should be averse to abject hope in political solutions.
Political solutions are, in the nature of the case, short term, coercive, and destructive.
We've choked heavily on such collectivist political prescriptions for over a century, to no avail. Yet the alternative to collectivism is not some form of nihilistic-individualism, but the comprehensive gospel of Christ applied to all areas of life. By focusing on grandiose plans, they leave the rest of us alone to work on real change. We attempt to Biblically train ourselves, our churches, our local communities, and most importantly our children, so that they will faithfully train their children and so on. This is one way genuine covenantal living operates.
