Trump’s Pathological Devotion to Border Walls Isn’t Political, It’s Theological

By Alana Massey

It was just two days shy of the 3rd anniversary of Donald Trump’s announcement of his candidacy for the presidency that Sarah Huckabee Sanders asserted, following Jeff Sessions’ remarks earlier that week, that separating and detaining families at the southern border of the United States was indeed “biblical.” The understandable outrage of decent humans across the world sent them flocking to BibleGateway.com to prove the claims ludicrous, mostly b…

Why the Media and Democrats Should Reject the Christian Right’s Pearl-Clutching and Address Problematic Religious Views

By Chrissy Stroop

America is trapped in an abusive relationship—not just with the pussy-grabbing President Donald Trump, our abuser-in-chief, but also with the Republican Party, its white Christian base, the police, and the increasingly uninhibited “good guys with guns,” whose vigilante actions are evidently becoming increasingly brazen. And unless liberals, leftists, and all Americans of good conscience are willing to confront the abusive character of the authori…

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

By Bradley Onishi

There’s a direct line from tribal epistemology to dehumanization and genocide. This morning former governor of Arkansas and avid Trump supporter Mike Huckabee tweeted a picture of gang members and dubbed them Nancy Pelosi’s team “for the take back of the House [of Representatives].” https://twitter.com/GovMikeHuckabee/status/1010497564435730434?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F2018%2F06%2F23%2Fpolitics%2Fmike-huckabee-ms13-…

Conservative Evangelical Eric Metaxas, Doing Twitter Theology, Claims ‘Jesus Was White’

By Eric Vanden Eykel

When Eric Metaxas tweeted that “Jesus was white” on Monday the small corner of Twitter in which Metaxas is sometimes a conversation piece erupted quickly, and with wild speculation. Is he looking for attention? Being provocative? No one actually believes that Jesus is white, do they? Surely Metaxas is smart enough to know that this claim is easily refuted. But, it appears that he didn’t misspeak; he said what he meant to say. There are a few seri…

Rep. Kinzinger Rejects Judgmental Family Letter But He’s No Cure for Evangelical GOP Authoritarianism

By Chrissy Stroop

This week, Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger, one of only ten Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted for Donald Trump’s second impeachment, released to The New York Times a letter signed by 11 members of his family eviscerating him for that decision. And that letter [see images below], which accuses Kinzinger of joining “the devil’s army,” which it defines as “Democrats and the fake news media,” is generating buzz in both trad…

Record Numbers Voted for More Death and More Racism; Can We Really Just Come Together as a Nation?

By Peter Laarman

In July I wrote in these pages about the necropolitics revealed by the actions of political leaders and political parties who clearly don’t care about inflicting death on others; those who actually succeed politically by subjecting others to violence and torture and unspeakable suffering. As I was drafting that earlier piece, it was perfectly apparent to all that Trump and the Republicans were practicing necropolitics by ignoring science and refu…

Trump’s Lawsuit Amounts to ‘a Tweet With a Filing Fee,’ But That’s Not the Whole Strategy

By Andrew L. Seidel

Stop the counting! Keep counting! These contradictory demands lie at the heart of Trump’s legal strategy to steal the 2020 election. You can see it in the opposing chant of Trump supporters in The Recount’s remarkable side-by-side video of small MAGA mobs in Arizona and Michigan; rats piped to their nearest polling place by the dog whistles of Trump himself. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1324200240694648834 The Trump campaign and the Repu…

Cherry-Picking in the God Gap: A Post-Election Conversation on the Religious Vote and the Battle to Spin it

By Daniel Schultz and Chrissy Stroop

Exit polls are even more suspect this year than they usually are, but few pundits have been dissuaded from drawing conclusions and whipping out megaphones to share them. Yes, even RD has a mote in its eye on this account. Maybe even a beam. Regardless, two of RD’s staff writers recently engaged in a socially distant conversation to discuss the data we’ve gotten so far and what it tells us about the 2020 election. While numerous parties—many of wh…

The True Meaning of ‘Law and Order’ Became Painfully Clear on January 6

By Jemar Tisby

“Be there, will be wild!” Trump tweeted at his supporters on December 19, thousands of whom showed up in Washington, DC, several weeks later at their leader’s urging. They climbed walls, waved Trump flags, and literally broke into the chambers of Congress. Trump’s army had orchestrated the breach that the Confederate Army had hoped for during the Civil War. The response, or lack thereof from law enforcement officials as this act of terrorism unfo…

Where Were They Radicalized? No Answer is Complete Without Addressing Evangelical Churches and Schooling

By Chrissy Stroop

As the United States prepares for the end of a nightmarish one-term presidency that seemed to drag on forever, Americans continue to unpack the January 6 insurrection that now even soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell admits was “provoked” by President Donald Trump. On January 16, NBC political analyst Mehdi Hasan tweeted, “#whereweretheyradicalized is a question we’re going to be asking of GOP lawmakers at federal and state/local le…
