…often much stronger than they look. Readers are urged to quarrel with this list or make up their own list. The point is to keep hope alive. Here, then, are ten tendrils that offer reason to remain hopeful despite it all: 1. Clarity, maybe. This year we gained an opportunity to achieve greater clarity about how fear and hate reinforce each other, how inspired demagoguery foments both, and how fatal to the health of a body politic a deliberately ind…

The Myth of the “Bipartisan Pro-Life Majority”

By Sarah Posner

…funded abortion from this legislation,” said Marjorie Dannefelser, the SBA List’s president. Yet their campaign to settle for nothing less than Stupak-Pitts is, as Jodi Jacobson ably chronicled at RH Reality Check, filled with misinformation. Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United for Life, claimed, without basis, that the Senate bill would “redefine” abortion as health care. In fact, no health plan would be required to cover abortion serv…

Why the Lewd Trump Tapes Won’t Matter (As Much As You Think) in White Christian America

By Paul Harvey

…a former Miss Universe—chuckles. You can fill in the rest of the very long list. Curious to see how the Trump demographic is responding to the latest scandal, I took this opportunity to survey my Facebook “acquaintances,” mostly consisting of those I grew up and went to K – 12 school with in rural northwest Oklahoma. These are folks tailor-made for the Trump demographic: white, living in or close to the hometown, Christian, and angry in ways they…

Will Catholic Voters Support LGBT Rights in Washington State?

By Joanna Brooks

…. We produced a flyer and factsheet and sent them to everyone on our email list. And I heard from people who stood outside mass to pass out our flyers and were asked to leave by the priest. But as they stood on the curb, they said 200 people rolled down their car windows and took their flyers and gave them thumbs up. They were very encouraged. It’s a strong campaign by the bishops. I wish they would put this money and energy into programs that wou…

The Theology of Westboro: The “World’s Meanest Church” Is More Than Picket Signs

By Rebecca Barrett-Fox

…which the press accepted without hesitation—I didn’t see the subtitle as a list of institutions that God hated. I saw the title as God Hates, then the colon, then the subtitle, which was a list of the three major topics I was addressing: Westboro Baptist Church, American Nationalism, and The Religious Right. Not until designer Karl Janssen came back with the cover did I see the subtitle as a list of things that might be invoking God’s wrath, and I…
