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

By Peter Montgomery

…He has also adopted the rhetoric of fascists in denouncing his political opponents as “vermin”[2] and immigrants as “poisoning the blood of our country.”[3] At right-wing events and on the campaign trail, he rallies his followers with promises of revenge against elites who ruined their shared dreams of a second Trump term. “I am your warrior. I am your justice,” he thunders. “I am your retribution.”[4] He has vowed to “obliterate the deep state,”…

By Sarah Posner

…ourland is finished, Mpofu, a tall woman with a regal bearing, stands and approaches me. “Sarah, you came,” she exclaims softly, almost in disbelief.

“Japan Gave Us Pokemon, God Gave Them an Earthquake”

By Anthea Butler

The devastating 8.9 earthquake that hit Japan is an opportunity to see catastrophe theology in action. Rather than wait for Pat Robertson-style pronouncements that the earthquake is about evil, homosexuality, or Buddha, I went to Twitter and the internet to see what people are saying about God and the earthquake. The bulk of the tweets are about God helping the Japanese, and prayer for the Japanese, but a number of the tweets are weighing in abou…

By Bill Berkowitz

Buyer’s Remorse or Getting What they Expected? Are evangelicals who supported Obama or have agreed to work with his administration experiencing what religion writer David Gibson has termed “buyer’s remorse,” or are they getting what they expected out of Team Obama?

…ull Episodes Political Humor Tea Party Not to be outdone, Stephen Colbert appeared from the wings announcing his own competing rally: “The March to Keep Fear Alive.” For his part Colbert promises to “restore truthiness” but its pretty clear his goal is to out-do his arch rival Stewart.

The Battle for the Meaning of Religious Freedom Day

By Frederick Clarkson

…tion for Religious Freedom Day celebrates a day devoted to something they oppose: religious freedom. Yes, the authors mouth many of the right things, including boilerplate platitudes and cherrypicked historical artifacts as recommended by Project Blitz. But what’s omitted illuminates the intentions of the theocratic Dominionists (notably, David Barton, as we reported in our original story) who have led Project Blitz from the beginning. Their visio…

Pseudo-Historian David Barton in the Times and on The Daily Show

By Julie Ingersoll

…h Jon Stewart on the Daily Show (video below, after the jump). Barton’s slipperiness was evident in both, though only Stewart seemed plainly frustrated by it. Those of us who write about Barton have been busily dissecting his appearances and Right Wing Watch has posted a great multipart analysis here.
