How Do You Beat a ‘Pretty Damning’ Impeachment Case? You Lie

By John Stoehr

…, according to Blake. That raises an interesting question for a democratic republic such as ours. If the Republicans have gone blind to the truth because they want to go blind to the truth, how on earth are Democratic impeachment managers supposed to get them to see? The Democrats presented and will continue to present a pretty damning political case demanding Trump’s disqualification from holding public office. How do you beat a pretty damning po…

What If Donald Trump is Just as Christian as Evangelicals?

By John Stoehr

…reedom, but no right to impose it on others. That white evangelical Christians believe they are an oppressed minority—see Ezra Klein’s latest—should not in any way deter other Americans from fighting like hell. Their worldview is categorically incompatible with a just and equitable democratic republic. Their politics is their religion, and their opponents should act accordingly. Is Trump as Christian as evangelicals are. Yes, it’s obvious. Once yo…

Have White Evangelicals Finally Lost Control of the Narrative?

By Chrissy Stroop

…, in addition to the coverage already mentioned, recent stories in The New Republic and Vice have shined a sympathetic light on ex-evangelical experiences and concerns. Because humans live through narratives, stories have power. Blake Chastain understands this, which is why his Exvangelical podcast largely focuses on creating space for former evangelicals to share our stories. Asked to comment for this piece, Chastain said, “I am thankful for the…

Times’ Link of NOI With Capitol Killer is Based on Flawed Comparison Between Rightwing Christian Nationalism and Black Religious Nationalism

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…would come to be known as the Haitian Revolution. From the Founders of the Republic like Jefferson, to current-day senators like Ron Johnson who confessed that had it been Black Lives Matters protestors who’d stormed the Capitol on January 6th, then he would have been worried, the fear of retribution by its Black citizens for past wrongs has long fueled attempts to keep African Americans subservient. Even more frightening is the thought that a Bla…

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ationalist mob that swarmed the Capitol on January 6th. One of the primary promoters of the Big Lie and organizers of the rallies and marches leading up to the event was a group founded by Trump supporters who believed their god instructed them to form a group to march on our halls of power. They called the group the Jericho March, after the biblical battle of Jericho in which the biblical God commands the sack and slaughter of every living being…

Was Alexander Hamilton Jewish? Does it Matter?

By Andrew Porwancher

…that Hamilton waged alongside fellow patriots—both Gentile and Jew—the new republic confronted a momentous question: Would the radical promise of equality enshrined in the Declaration of Independence now translate into democratic realities? A number of politicians sought to withhold the prerogatives of citizenship from Jews, from the courthouse to the ballot box. Against these forces of antisemitism, Alexander Hamilton sought to build an America w…

Will the Taliban Actually Remain Somewhat Moderate This Time?

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…sion from outside. The diversity of political positions within the Islamic Republic of Iran give some indication that even a rather rigid religious regime is indeed capable of flexibility and perhaps significant change on its own. Muslim militants in other parts of the world have disagreed with Ayatollah Khomeini and rejected many of his positions. Post-revolution leaders in Iran, including Mohammad Khatami, Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, and Hassan Ro…

The Inauguration’s Beautiful Call for Unity Was Undermined by the Invocation of Religion

By Andrew L. Seidel

…y. Christian nationalism will remain an existential threat to the American republic for decades to come. But for now, like Lincoln, we are celebrating a passing danger. A narcissist and would-be tyrant is out of power, and a man who, whatever you think of his politics, at least cares about other people has assumed the most powerful office in the history of the world. We are celebrating the triumph of empathy over cruelty. But while I believe that…

QAnon’s Predictions Haven’t Come True; So How Does the Movement Survive the Failure of Prophecy?

By Amarnath Amarasingam and Marc-André Argentino

…n after the election. With President Trump being seen as the savior of the republic in the White House, one who’s poised to usher in the collapse of the deep state, his defeat in the election could very well be seen as the ultimate failure of prophecy. As such, the theoretical framework presented above is important to keep in mind once the election is decided. If Trump loses the election, we foresee potentially three responses from QAnon followers…

Pope Francis Praised for ‘Civil Unions’ Comment, But Justice Begins at Home—In the Vatican

By Mary E. Hunt

…ooperation. These resound in light of the civil war in the Central African Republic and in Myanmar with the genocide of Muslim Rohingya people. It’s wrenching to see the camps he visited in Lesbos where the needs of Syrian refugees exceeded exponentially the resources available for humane living. Many viewers are moved to extend kudos and gratitude to Francis for his leadership in these situations. Also included in the film are significant segment…
