…ld, in which the availability of sharp-edged nodes of resistance and reaction at local and regional levels have tilted the world dramatically toward a cycle of decline. They’re like the pebbles in a gathering landslide. None of this guarantees Trump and Republicans will reclaim power in 2024. The possibility is still best classified as a strong maybe. But the map of hyperlocalism is blinking red around the world. And to the extent that events—such…

Media Fail to Acknowledge That 2024 Hopeful Ron DeSantis is as Catholic as Biden

Like Turner, minority whip John Thune, the second most powerful Republican in the Senate, said “of course I disagree with that,” regarding Trump’s comments. But he too refused to say whether he would support Trump in 2024 or not: “It’s just one of those intuitively obvious things, whether a candidate for office has sort of a bedrock principle, ‘are you going to suppo…

…ng so [to] our country, or we defeat them in a landslide on November 5th in 2024. Either the Deep State destroys America or we destroy the Deep State. That’s the way it’s gotta be.” This language isn’t going to whip up a new January 6th—the failure to launch of the protests he called for last week is an important marker of Trump’s ability to summon the mob (although it has been a very lucrative stunt for him in regard to funding)—but the language…

The Code is illustrated with images pulled from a website promoting the 2007 Swedish film Arn: The Knights Templar.
