So one of the things I am thinking about is how do we, on the evangelical/reformed right, convert the discernment and information regularly made available to us into actionable strategy for accountability and reform‽

In otherwords, we don't just need an evangelical/reformed version of FoxNews.
Outrage porn for those powerless to do anything about it.
We need to layout an actionable plan for a groundswell of pressure to bring about reform.

We need to think politically and collectively to do so.
Evangelicals have a misguided aversion to thinking politically, particularly in ecclesiastical matters, and conservatives have an aversion to thinking collectively, out of a bias towards individualism.

We will have to overcome these aversions in order to force reform.
Without embracing a political and collective mindset we cannot effectively leverage our collective capital.

We have to drop the idealistic framework in which we view individualism and collectivism for this to work.
Both Individualism and Collectivism can be used for good or evil.
Both Individualism and Collectivism can be used for good or evil.
Our culture has embraced a hyper version of both, as seen in the post-modern deconstruction of reality expressed when a man calls himself a woman and the tyranny inherent in ideological democracy where the majority can force a minority into compliance through economic genocide.
Collectivism, for instance, is good in the Church.
You want to function as one body, not a bunch of individuals doing their own thing.
You don't just show up for worship and sing whatever song you want, you sing corporately what's on the projector screen.

We have to be able to learn from the effectiveness of the left in leveraging collective capital.
It comes more naturally to them because they are more ideologically consistent with Collectivism.

We typically don't move in a collective manner until the left has pushed too far.
When we do however, we do so with thundering force, like in Loudon county.

When we learn how to empower the lowest common denominator, the church laymen, then we can force accountability and reform from the ground up.
Hopefully much more on this to come.
The End.
