By Bradley Onishi

…ans who disrupted the peaceful transfer of power and almost dismantled our republic through a violent coup attempt. However, for those at CPAC—and millions more across the nation—he’s a martyr in the story founded on the Big Lie; the story that pits them against the godless interlopers who’ve stolen ‘their’ country.

However, Johnson’s feelings about porn are every bit as important, as they are inextricably linked to his…

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…ill. A good Northeastern liberal, I’d read the warning articles in The New Republic before I went, and I knew the Tea Party had taken over the state, but I could not have imagined something like the “bathroom bill,” or HB2. When I sat in Bell’s audience in Durham in March, the fallout from the state’s recent anti-LGBT legislation was just beginning.
