…igious cooperation. These resound in light of the civil war in the Central African Republic and in Myanmar with the genocide of Muslim Rohingya people. It’s wrenching to see the camps he visited in Lesbos where the needs of Syrian refugees exceeded exponentially the resources available for humane living. Many viewers are moved to extend kudos and gratitude to Francis for his leadership in these situations. Also included in the film are significant…

By Amarnath Amarasingam and Marc-André Argentino

…n after the election. With President Trump being seen as the savior of the republic in the White House, one who’s poised to usher in the collapse of the deep state, his defeat in the election could very well be seen as the ultimate failure of prophecy.

…ight-wing extremism. Abbott says she often receives phone calls from Idaho Republicans asking her what to do about the party’s extremism problem.

Scholars Upset With ‘1619 Project’ Must Abandon Vision of ‘America the Righteous’

By Peter Laarman

…allegation [that the Revolution was fought in large part to preserve the unfreedom of enslaved people] would be astounding,” observe Wilentz et al in their supercilious rebuke. We can agree on that much. It is astounding—and liberating—to break free of chains of ideology masquerading as history. These chains are what the revanchist Wilentz group appears intent on preserving while accusing the Times crew of being the real ideologues in this ruckus….

What If Donald Trump is Just as Christian as Evangelicals?

By John Stoehr

…right to free speech, but not at the expense of everyone else’s rights and freedoms. Evangelical Christians have religious freedom, but no right to impose it on others. That white evangelical Christians believe they are an oppressed minority—see Ezra Klein’s latest—should not in any way deter other Americans from fighting like hell. Their worldview is categorically incompatible with a just and equitable democratic republic. Their politics is their…

By Andrew L. Seidel

…n.” After the pleasantries, Watkinson moved to fearmongering, “What if our Republic were now shattered beyond reconstruction?” Posterity would look to our coinage and think “that we were a heathen nation.” Watkinson proposed removing that heathen, “the Goddess of Liberty,” and adding a new, godly motto, something like, “God, liberty, law.” With the sense of entitlement typical of a religious majoritarian, Watkinson claimed that “no possible citize…

By Peter Laarman

…stallizes a certain way of thinking about a path forward for this troubled republic. Leonhardt is certainly not alone in taking this line; he merely drives it home more forcefully than others. The gist is that Donald J. Trump embodies everything that’s threatening to this essentially good and benign nation. According to this view, expelling the 45th president—driving him from office by any means necessary—opens the way to our national salvation. T…
