For Southern Baptists, a strong Pretend Progressive presence in the seats of power means that something might actually get done regarding the crises of sex abuse and racism. That’s a “might,” however, not a “will.” As I mentioned earlier, this faction isn’t very different at all from the Old Guard. For both factions, their natural inclination is always going to be acting like the Sheriffs of Baptist County.
Dems might be able to get them off our backs for a while.
