Project 2025: How Trump Loyalists and Right-Wing Leaders Are Paving a Fast Road to Fascism

By Peter Montgomery

…eflected in how fully Trump’s anti-deep state rhetoric was embraced by his Republican primary opponents.[41] In other words, even in the seemingly unlikely scenario that Trump does not become the Republican nominee, other GOP contenders are pledged to wage the war he and Project 2025 are calling for against federal agencies. Central to Project 2025’s strategy for fighting that war is recruiting, vetting, and training thousands of MAGA-minded ideol…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…f hope. Not all is lost yet. It’s not set in stone that the GOP will win in 2024; so far, in every election where democracy was on the ballot, as well as reproductive rights, Republicans have lost. There is some bravery afoot as well. Special counsel Jack Smith, who is overseeing the criminal investigation into the classified documents found in Trump’s possession, essentially just called the Supreme Court’s bluff, bypassing the court of appeals an…

Will Pope’s African Tour Change Attitudes on Divorce and LGBTQ Among African Catholics?

By Kaya Oakes

…After two days in Kenya, he will travel to Uganda, and then to the Central African Republic. The Pope’s message of care for those on the margins and his consistent focus on poverty is of great significance to Africans, but they also hope he will continue the discussions of marriage and family issues that he recently began in Rome.

…e basis of skin color.” If you have trouble imagining reading such blatant Republican talking points in a textbook, remember, in board member Don McLeroy’s bizarro world, girls and black students should be taught that they should be grateful to white Republican males for granting them the right to vote, since it was white men who voted in favor of the 19th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act. (I wonder if it occurs to Dr. McLeroy that Bull Connor w…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…It might as well be as old as Moses, given what a commonplace it is for right-wing Christians. The rest of it is a chestnut of its own. We ought to just be grateful that Lindell isn’t enforcing coronavirus rectitude with a hatchet. (Carrie Nation was also an unabashed self-promoter, by the way.) It’s a strand that goes back to Wesleyan perfectionism and Calvinist propriety, some of the deepest roots of American religion. It may look like faith se…

Apocalyptic Rhetoric at Moms for Liberty Summit Illustrates Political Challenge of 2024

By Chrissy Stroop

…oo, rambled on about how “bad” things are, asserting several times that if Republicans lose in 2024 “there’s no coming back.” And interestingly enough, out of all four presidential candidates present at the summit, it was Trump who not only got the most enthusiastic reception, but also used the most explicit God talk. In his disinformation-filled rant, Trump referred to the “joyful warriors” in the audience as victims of “demented persecution,” sp…
