Nikki Haley’s Slavery Omission Typifies the GOP’s Tragic Pact with White Supremacy

By Annika Brockschmidt

…visibly shaken Haley paces around the stage, and eventually answers evasively. “Well, don’t come at me with an easy question,” she says, adding, “I mean, I think the cause of the Civil War was basically how government was going to run, what you could and couldn’t do, the freedoms in what people could and couldn’t do.” After an attempt to turn the question back to the audience member, to which he replies that he isn’t running for president and wan…

By Jonathon Sawyer

…influence of Satanic “principalities” in the atmosphere and also to rid myself of what I believed to be an indwelling demon of homosexuality. The “spiritual warfare” I learned at SLBC has endured, from Liardon’s school to Wallnau’s Courage Tours—and now to Trump’s MAGA rallies—coalescing into some of the most vicious forms of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric on the far-right today. In fact, Liardon’s take in Haunted Houses, Ghosts, and Demons: What You Can Do…

…male control and female submission, Jesus and John Wayne drew stark parallels between so-called biblical patriarchy and the militant masculinity of the American political rightwing. To Du Mez’s surprise, some evangelical women readers met the book with a mix of praise and resignation. “‘It’s too late for us,’” Du Mez recalls them saying. “‘We’ve made our choices, and we can’t walk away from the lives we’ve made. But we want something different fo…

By Ben Lorber

…change its long-standing policy of support for Israel”—along with a “parallel goal of eliminating capitalism and democracy.” Project Esther aims to “disrupt and degrade [HSOs] and deny them the resources they need” within the first two years of a conservative administration. It calls on that administration to deport foreign leaders and members of HSOs; to block their public and private funding and revoke their tax-exempt status; and to subject the…

Attacks on Tim Walz’s Lutheran Denomination are Undermined by Reality — I Mean, Is ELCA Even Exciting Enough for Controversy?

By Daniel Schultz

…disagreed with Trump on race, abortion, and immigration voted for him nevertheless. Sparkle creeds and Methodists in trench coats make easy targets, but critics would be better off looking at race, education, and residence to find the sources of Lutheran progressivism (or conservatism). The ELCA itself, as always, just isn’t that exciting. *The most conservative segment of mainline Protestantism is actually the Anglican Church in North America and…

By Chrissy Stroop

…r passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” Perhaps someday the fact that active Christian practice is correlated with the authoritarian personality, and the fact of relatively low authoritarianism scores among the nonreligious demographic, will be acknowledged by elite pundits—maybe even in The New York Times….

The ‘Jezebel Spirit’ Isn’t (Just) Bible-Based Misogyny, it’s a Literal Demon — So What Happens When They ‘Stop Tolerating’ It?

By Michael E. Heyes

…atan is “mocking fathers.” A clear pattern in violent extremism is the correlation between male violence and the threat of emasculation. If Harris wins, it will take little effort for a group that has already called January 6th an “election fraud intervention” to push its constituency to violence to “correct” the results. “Jesus didn’t reprimand Jezebel for her deception and seduction… He holds the one who tolerates Jezebel responsible,” writes Pa…

Election Reporters: Here’s Why Simply Descriptors Like ‘Christians’ Can Have Enormous Consequences

By Daniel Schultz

…large, neither Turning Point USA nor Donald Trump cares about more than a relatively small portion of the religion’s adherents. That distinction becomes extremely important in light of the growing sense among many expert observers that Trump’s rhetoric is increasingly authoritarian. Let’s face it: it’s pretty well baked into the culture these days that “Christian” and “conservative” are synonymous. For a lot of reasons, conservative Christians ten…

Already Beatified by the Right for Surviving an Assassination Attempt, Must We All Pray for Donald Trump?

By Daniel Schultz

…r his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.” You don’t have to be objectively pro-assassination to believe, as 51% of voters in a recent poll do, that Donald Trump poses an existential threat to American democracy and the life of the world. That problem requires more than “thoughts and prayers” indeed. So if it takes the former president many more years of golf in Saudi Arabia (or another, similar nation without an extradition treaty) to ensure t…

Rising Christian Right Movement, New Apostolic Reformation, Emerged as a Mid-20th Century Splinter of White Supremacy

By Keri Ladner

…s recognized as an independent state; British Israelists drew direct parallels between the recognition of Israel and the beginning of what they saw as the prophesied “latter-rain” outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Western church. The NAR continues to draw direct parallels between events in Israel and events in the “Christian” West—hence the similarities seen in both NAR Christian Zionism and NAR Christian nationalism. British Israelism had begu…
