How Can the Former President’s Opponents Repudiate His Fascist Rhetoric Without Giving Him the Publicity He Craves?

By Jeremy L. Sabella

…ocratic turnout. Trump understands that if the abortion issue dominates the 2024 campaign, his bid may well be doomed. So he’s seeking to elicit a reaction so visceral and powerful that it overshadows abortion rights. This is precisely what making the election about his use of fascist tropes would accomplish. The 2024 election will either be about abortion rights, or it will be about Trump. One way or another, it will be a referendum. Which framin…

New Report Mapping Christian Nationalism by State Suggests Election Need Not be Played Out on Christian Nationalist Terms

By Daniel Schultz

…mocratic voters (83%) and Independents (73%) are Skeptics or Rejecters. The 2024 election will be largely contested over the few Republicans suspicious of Christian nationalism and Independents friendly to it. You can literally map out these differences. Blue states have very low levels of support for Christian nationalism. Red states are just the opposite. And the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Wisc…

Trump’s Bibles and Sneakers Campaigns Tell an Old Story About the Role of Race in Christian Nationalism

By Dara Delgado

…not the intended audience for Trump’s Bible. Instead, when Trump sought to promote his latest wares, he didn’t approach Black American voters like some “low-rent televangelist,” as he had with the GBUSA, but rather as the neighborhood sneaker vendor. Unlike the GBUSA website, The Never Surrender High-Top Sneaker site doesn’t make grand claims about patriotism and values. Moreover, there’s no formal advertising campaign, and the site is much less p…

The Elite Movement Laying the Foundation for a MAGA That Will Outlast Trump and Remake America: Inside NatCon Part I

By Ben Lorber

…dinner on the first night reads like a stump speech for his heavily-rumored 2024 presidential campaign. “I would certainly vote for Ron DeSantis,” Paul Gottfried, the paleoconservative intellectual who, along with white nationalist Richard Spencer, coined the term ‘alt-right’ in 2008, tells me in the hallway, summarizing the mood felt by many at NatCon. “He’s a lot better than Trump, because Trump is incoherent; he’s infantile rage; he’s gonna dra…

‘Pro-Life’ Theater, Open White Nationalism, and Virility Fear — Day 3 of NatCon

By Annika Brockschmidt and Ben Lorber

…banning abortion, and he portrayed the Biden administration’s reproductive freedom stance as genocide: His is an administration that is not just pro-abortion. It lives and breathes abortion. It is their religion—they want to take us out. They want to take out our children. The abortion drug states could fight against the abortion drug, but the abortion drug is promoted by the United States Postal Service that is under federal jurisdiction. That is…

Don’t Buy Alito’s Assurances: Here’s What Happens Next After Roe Falls

By Brynn Tannehill

…ck. Horrible legal questions arise: Will marriage licenses issued by Texas between 2015 and 2024 still be legal? What about military couples stationed in Texas? The situation becomes even more grim when you look at the bigger picture of where we’re going. What happens when Lawrence vs. Texas falls next? Or if the courts decide that “community morals” are sufficient to decide that all LGBT-related material is obscene? Republicans are already talkin…

Doing a Dukakis (But with Jesus) — Biden Does Not Need to Be More Publicly Christian

By Chrissy Stroop

…gy to these groups is a misappropriation of resources. That money would be better spent on voter registration and ground game turnout efforts among the Democratic base, or on powerful messaging on reproductive freedom, which has worked strongly in Democrats’ favor since the illegitimately stacked Supreme Court overturned Roe. Democrats also have a lot of work to do to shore up their base this year given how many have been alienated by Biden’s refu…

Both the Joy and the Uproar Over the Pope’s Blessings for LGBTQ Catholics are Small Potatoes Compared to this Age-Old Church Problem

By Mary E. Hunt

…gs are shrinking before our eyes. The text encourages priests to exercise “freedom and spontaneity” whereas the press release specifies blessings to be just a few seconds, like maybe at drive-by speed! Likewise, the text refers to “Blessings of Couples in Irregular Situations and of Couples of the Same Sex,” though in his late January comments, Pope Francis insists this is really about blessing individuals, not couples. Say what? He’s walking back…

Women are (Still) Fleeing the Church — And the Cause is (Still) Pretty Clear

By Patricia Miller

…2024. But women’s attendance declined precipitously, dropping five points between 2012 and 2020. Since then it’s been holding steady at 27%. Overall, women’s weekly attendance dropped nine points between 2008 and 2023, according to Burge, while men’s dropped a mere two points. So by 2023, college-educated men were five points more likely than college-educated women to attend religious services at least weekly. What’s behind this reversal in relig…

Clergy May Soon Find Taxes Soaring As Result of an Under-the-Radar Ruling

By Patrick Hornbeck

…ndated that “In God We Trust” appear on U.S. currency. Neither required by free exercise, nor prohibited by establishment In the suit brought by the Freedom from Religion Foundation and several of its leaders, Judge Crabb ruled that the housing allowance exemption violates the First Amendment’s prohibition against the establishment of religion. Crabb had reached an identical conclusion at an earlier stage of the litigation, in 2013, but she was ov…
