By A. E. Brooks-Key

…“social justice warriors” or the “Woke mob.” But his “Elect” actually has more in common with the concept of “The Anointed” developed by Black conservative thinker Thomas Sowell, who decades earlier penned The Vision of the Anointed (and who more recently compared the widespread use of “systemic racism” to Nazi propaganda).

…n service of funding an insurrection in Canada. However sparse these particular examples may be, I hope that researchers will invest the time to dig into the religious narratives being sent, alongside money, to the siege of Ottawa—because even as the mob is cleared, and the organizers arrested, the ideas will live on, and very few if any of the donors’ minds will be changed….

The law school—where Clarence Thomas delivered…

If the Media Are Reluctant to Properly Label the GOP’s Racist, Christian Nationalist Ideologies, We’ll Have Trouble Hanging on to Democracy

By Annika Brockschmidt

…and “lone wolves.” This not only obscures their part in an organized hate movement, it also betrays a deep misunderstanding of how this movement operates. In fact, white supremacists have adopted the term “lone wolf” and use it themselves to keep mainstream media from recognizing the “leaderless resistance” structure of the “white power” movement. Political journalists have to either educate themselves or refer to experts on the matter. This also…

…passionate, were uninterested in sex, and therefore were more virtuous and more moral than men. If you go back to the 19th century and look at personifications of the United States, they’re White women. You have Lady Temperance and Lady Liberty. You have John Gast’s [1872 painting, depicted above] “American Progress,” which features Columbia, this White woman drifting from the East coast to the West; behind her the sun is rising, and there are shi…

‘The Age of Insurrection: The Radical Right’s Assault on American Democracy’ Explains How We Got Here — And What Comes Next

By Shane Burley

…the conference. Neiwert’s sense of exhaustion was not new, nor was it uncommon among our peers. In regular meetups over the past ten years, we’ve shared recent scoops, imperiled projects, and “war stories” about this work and its personal cost. But as years went by, and as Trump’s ascent changed the political landscape, fatigue set in. We are tired. Dave’s not the only one. At post-conference drinks, some of us shared hopeful stories about communi…

…the aid of vandals.”[76] But other supervisors appear to have taken the memo more seriously. At Halifax County’s September 2020 board meeting, where the resolution was first discussed, Supervisor William Bryant Claiborne explained his reticence to support it by pointing to Kenosha, Wisconsin, where Kyle Rittenhouse answered a militia muster call and ended up shooting three protestors at a Black Lives Matter protest, killing two.

By Daniel Schultz

…aped the movement and the future of Christianity. Evangelicals are still almost homogeneously conservative, anti-abortion, and anti-LGBTQ+ rights advocates. But they have also developed into a diverse, multiethnic, multicultural, economically, and generationally diverse global Christian family whose perceptions of the world differ. In Latin America, there was a very strong evangelical Left that was born together with the Catholic Left in Brazil th…

‘Hello, Trump Warriors!’ Little-Known Preachers and Rabble Rousers are the Unregulated Id of the Felon’s First Rally

By Jeff Sharlet

…S isn’t a democracy but a republic, (which is false), but this woman, like more and more Trumpers, takes a step further: democracy = communism = an evil that needs no explanation and merits no mercy. Our correspondents keep moving. “I have a close connection to President Trump, as a teacher,” a middle-aged White woman named Janice, caped in a Trump flag, tells Paul. It dates back to her student-teacher days, when her teacher “taught” her “everythi…
