…end time with our families.” Trump-as-the-chosen-hand-of-God is relatively new theology, to be sure, though no doubt the theology leading Trump to tout Lindell as a Senate candidate in Minnesota.

First, he showed up at John MacArthur’s “Strange Fire” conference uninvited and started a Twitter beef, which I wrote about last week.

By Steven Gardiner

…at it’s hard to imagine what that could look like. But we should not expect 2024 to be a simple replay of 2020. The flurry of right-wing and far-right mobilizing we saw in 2020, much of it through mainstream social media platforms by Stop the Steal, has thus far not materialized in 2024. Rather than building toward mass protests with potential adjacent violence, far-right organizing has been focused on election officials and poll monitoring, inclu…
