Seeing posts of people being scared, broken, paralyzed, angry from the news that democracy worked today - votes were peacefully cast and counted - but their preferred candidate lost.

We place too much faith in our politicians and our government. We all get emotional about things we're invested in. Fair enough.

But the core problem in society is sin; and no government or politician can fix that.

"the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either – but right through every human heart" - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Government can't fix these problems. It's a form of idolatry to believe it can. Folks from all sides can easily fall into this, as our hearts are idol making machines.
