Pray Vote Stand 2022 Kicks Off With Some Head-Scratchers on Predictable Topics

…ight voters with the right issues” coming to the polls this election and in 2024. After 2020 Republican losses in Georgia, it’s telling that the Family Research Council brought the conference to Atlanta. Mohler reminds the audience that, come November’s midterm elections, the whole country “will be looking at Georgia.” Georgia’s Senate hopefuls Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock were both invited to speak at Pray Vote Stand on Friday. Neither is…

CNN’s Disastrous ‘Town Hall’ with Trump Put the Country at Risk

…president, lied in an effort to defraud the American people and overturn a free and fair election in an attempt to remain in power. (See the January 6th Select Committee’s Report.) In doing so he betrayed every aspect of his oath to represent us as Americans. We no longer need to imagine what Trump is capable of. He has shown us that he is an authoritarian who will use any means at his disposal, including violence, to remain in power…. To me, allo…

Boo! Trump’s Lead With Religious Voters Not As Bigly As You Might Think

…gainst a Trumpist candidate could turn today’s 66% Evangelical support into 2024’s 55%—or worse. If 2016 has taught us nothing else, of course, it’s that anything could happen. Even as I wrote this post, FBI Director James Comey launched a bombshell by announcing the agency was examining previously-unreleased emails from Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department. Still, between the browning of Catholicism, increasing secularization, and a p…

The Right Questions Kamala Harris’ Blackness — Yet as Long as She Holds Any Power She’ll Always Be Too Black for Them

…ack woman or an orange person (whose running mate may want to pick up some better internet-search skills using the incognito option). Since I’m probably not mature enough to vote in any election, I’m off the hook. But whether or not we agree or disagree with Harris’ candidacy or record we can agree that the misogynoir she experiences is inexcusable. Personally, I think people should vote for someone based on their policies—or, if all else fails, I…

An Interview with Rep. Jamie Raskin on the Feminist and Abolitionist Founder Who Has Slipped into a Memory Hole

…today—this is the paragraph Rep. Raskin quoted at the Summit for Religious Freedom in April 2024—think of what it must have been like to read or hear those words in the bleak winter of December 1776. The American people needed a victory on which to pin the last shreds of their hope. They needed a win. General Washington had Paine’s words read aloud to his soldiers on Christmas night before they crossed the Delaware River and routed the British and…

‘Brazil’s Trump’ Bolsonaro Lost — But Anti-Democratic Movements Seldom Accept Electoral Defeat

…han Trump—he’s been a politician for far longer, and historically has been better at reining in his coalition and keeping it on message. That message, in two words: Christian nationalism. Christian nationalism is at the heart of both Trump’s and Bolsonaro’s politics, and this is nowhere more obvious than in each of their chief “ideologues.” Trump’s, former media mogul turned political strategist Steve Bannon, trucks with right-wing nationalist nar…

Alarming New Report Shows Attacks on Public Education Are Coordinated by Right-Wing Think Tanks

…bills, which rolled out starting in 2023 and became a defining part of the 2024 legislative cycle as well. Those aren’t trying to police speech in the classroom per se, because that [tactic] was running into legal issues on First Amendment grounds. Instead, they try to reshape what services schools provide to their students. These bills aim to create the language that talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion and talking about how to create…

In ‘The Evangelical Mission to Spread The Gospel to Muslims’ a Journalist Tells a Global Story About Evangelical Missionaries and the Spread of Right-Wing Ideology

…ligious revival couldn’t be timelier. Then he took his crusades worldwide. Between 1962 and 1974, Graham personally met the region’s most brutal anti-communist military rulers, including Fulgencio Batista of Cuba, Ernesto Geisel of Brazil, Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay, and Augusto Pinochet of Chile, whom Graham praised as a “great Christian leader.” Graham wasn’t the only American preacher to wage an anti-communist spiritual fight abroad. During…

Hillary Clinton Won the Catholic Vote After All, So Dems Should Stay Pro-Choice, Right?

…in 2020 and most will have gone to that great election booth in the sky by 2024. Similarly, the Hispanic vote went overwhelmingly for Clinton at 74% to 19%, for a massive 55% advantage. Of course, at least some of this can be accounted for by Trump’s hostility toward Hispanic immigrants and may not carry over to future Republican candidates. But young voters have a tendency to stick with the party they first vote for, so it’s likely that Trump ha…

Did Romney Cynically Cite His Mormon Faith for Impeachment Vote as Critics Claim?

…n fact, it might cost him some. It certainly wouldn’t be a get-out-of-jail free card within his own party, as evidenced above. So possible, but not necessarily probable. Another argument is that Romney, like many Mormons, has been turned off by the President’s lack of [ahem] interpersonal moral hygiene. You hear this one a lot when evangelicals are discussed as well. But while it’s true that Utah gave Trump his smallest margin in any state he won,…
