Silence of Latino Religious Leaders Enable GOP Tolerance of Trump Spectacle

By Arlene M. Sanchez Walsh

…election was simple. They can count. And you would think my home state of California would offer the GOP some caution. The GOP is dead in California. Last year’s governor’s race was a wipe out between a political legend, Jerry Brown, and Neel Kashkari, who went looking for that elusive beast called “the moderate GOP voter” (RIP, 1988). The other candidate, Tim Donnelly made a name for himself as a member of the border militia known as the Minutem…

…wded Fire: Ritual and Spirituality at Burning Man (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2010). One the one hand, Gilmore’s study of spirituality at Burning Man argues that “Burners” often express the very “individualized conceptions of spirituality” against which Albanese and Bender argue.

By Daniel Schultz

…younger, more secular states, and that’s certainly the case in places like California and Colorado, where both ages and rates of affiliation are on the low side. But it’s not a strict rule: Sanders also cleaned up in Vermont, which is older but more secular (or most secular: it’s the least religious state in the nation).

…es of vaccine-related family strife on the record. Cheryl from Santa Cruz, California, who asked to be identified only by her first name, described the struggle to convince her evangelical mother to get vaccinated. “It’s been maddening to see my parents putting themselves at risk to maintain relationships with their siblings during the past year,” she says, adding: “When she got her first Moderna shot, her sibling tried to intervene to ‘save her’…

By Susannah Crockford

…er leaving the military, Babbitt ran a pool service and supply business in California and reportedly felt betrayed politically, especially by state Democrats. This sense of betrayal pushed her toward the QAnon conspiracy theory. Being angry about homelessness and the costs of running a small business in California fueled a sense of grievance that politicians—those nefarious elites—weren’t working in her favor, which is the populist logic underlyin…

By Katherine Stewart

…miraculous—Christianity ‘on demand,’ if you will. For example, in Redding, California, you get groups from the Bethel Church barging into emergency rooms to lay hands on the sick. The church recruits charismatic ER doctors and healthcare workers to their town. Traditional evangelical networks have tended to organize within formal political—or at least politically adjacent—structures, such as the Family Research Council. Pentecostals might get invo…

…hose LGBT parents flee Texas, and Texas tries to have them extradited from California? What happens when the only safe place to go for women and LGBT people is to get out of the US, and flee to someplace that will refuse to send them back? If, in this scenario, California were to allow the extradition, there would be an explosion of protest and dissent, and a lot of Democratic politicians would lose their jobs to other, more ambitious and principl…

…portal” over Joe Biden’s White House. But Stone is not the odd exception. California State Sen. Brian Dahle, the 2022 Republican candidate for governor, and prominent apostles Chuck Pierce of Texas and Dutch Sheets of South Carolina for example, have referred to government officials as “the enemy.” By this, they mean Satan and his demonic minions. While Apostle Abby Abildness works with righteous state legislators, she worries that “the enemy of…

Vivek Ramaswamy Represents the Convergence of White Supremacy and Hindu Supremacy — And He May Well Be Trump’s Running Mate

By Usha Kumar

…ood that made permissible and even necessary the rewriting of textbooks in California to remove references to caste, spread anti-Muslim conspiracy theories online, or digested far-right hysteria around affirmative action policies and “wokeness,” their relationship to domestic politics transformed too. Many Modi Democrats have been waiting for a figure like Vivek Ramaswamy to provide a new container for their political beliefs. Ramaswamy, like Trum…
