Evangelical bestsellers reveal diverse — and sometimes dangerous — ideas about morality theconversation.com/evangelical-be…
It has come to my attention that I have done insufficient self-promotion & some of you don't even know I have a podcast. I do! It's called Volts & it's about clean energy. And -- if I may say so myself -- it's been on a bit of a roll lately. A 🧵.
You wanna know what people will write about American evangelicals for the rest of history? It will be their unwavering allegiance to the most depraved leader in American history. Not their love. Certainly not their courage. But their blindness, capture, and culpability.
"Rapture dude" is shorthand for saying that Johnson's evangelical support for Israel is anything but pro-Jewish. He's from the camp that believes Israel has a role to play in the return of Jesus. To him, that's what Jews are "for." His denunciations of antisemitism are empty.
Please read this thread, take it to heart, and stop being glib shitheads on this site.

One of my weirder and more rewarding hobbies is collecting definitions of "conservativism," and one of the jewels of that collection comes from @CoreyRobin's must-read book *The Reactionary Mind*: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_React… 1/
Very embarrassing American performance. A Danish child born in the bottom half is >50% more likely to reach the top quartile than an American. More like the "European dream."
Halfway through Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse for the first time... and it might be the most profound, moving, and ecstatic reading experience of my life.
Ian, no. They packed the Court. This would not be packing, it would be restoring the Court.

"If we hold them accountable, they'll just get upset and do worse." How's that working out?

To reporters: don't ask about parallels to 1968-70. Get off your asses and talk to the people protesting on all sides, cultivate leakers among police/security/admin, find policy documents, follow the money, etc, etc, etc. Figure out what's happening NOW. Later, we can talk.
As soon as Trump began his big lie in November 2020, I started calling it a slow-motion coup attempt. My betters told mme I was hysterical--until J6. I imagine they'll say the same now, when I say the same about SCOTUS & immunity: slo-mo coup attempt.
Using Moral Foundations Theory, @crddouglas looks at how The Shack and the Left Behind series represent two different sets of moral priorities within contemporary evangelicalism 3/11 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ja…
Ken Paradis and I have edited a special issue of The Journal of American Culture: Apocalypse deferred: Evangelical imagination and the decline of White Christian America. Articles appeared online throughout March, but the full issue is now available 1/11 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1542734x/2…
The upshot of the past two days at the Supreme Court is that only Trump can perform or pay for an abortion in Idaho.
It seemed as if the conservative justices forgot about their deep commitment to originalism and textualism...👀

Folks, whatever the Court does, having this case heard and the idea of having immunity for a military coup taken seriously by being debated is a big victory in the information war that MAGA and allies wage alongside legal battles. Authoritarians specialize in normalizing extreme…

When govt is simultaneously subsidizing conservatives to take their kids out of public schools while inviting evangelical "chaplains" into those schools, you've got the govt subsidizing a culture-warring missionary operation. "You don't influence our kids; we influence yours."
Great lucid piece (as usual from @Dahlialithwick) about today's Supreme Court oral arguments in the case involving the Idaho's extreme and dangerous ban on abortions. slate.com/news-and-polit…
Jamison is right about this. Dems have no problem pointing out Trump is responsible for Roe v Wade because he stacked the court. But it’s the same unpopular court that’s helping him run out the clock on accountability for insurrection. Run against the whole corrupt unit.

And millions of us find all this death and maiming tragic. And we're told by millions more—the same who told us that we were aligned with terrorists for predicting this exact eventuality—that finding the death of foreign civilians tragic means we are aligned with the terrorists.
So yes, our leaders say that Iraq poses an imminent threat. Our leaders say there is evidence. The experts whose jobs involve knowing such things say there actually isn't any evidence. We are told by our leaders that this means the experts are aligned with the terrorists.
Now our current leaders—some of whom were involved with putting the bad guys in power in Afghanistan and Iraq, are saying that Iraq—which has not attacked us, is about to attack us, very very very soon, and therefore it needs to be very very very attacked.
Is Columbia safe for Jewish students? We talked to a billionaire alumnus who lives in Massachusetts and a 35 year-old antisemite who’s unaffiliated with the university.
@crddouglas @brmorris Revelation is one of the best places to get this. We are told to expect a lion, and we get a slain lamb. Jesus comes with a white horse into battle, and his clothes are already drenched in his own blood. His sword is his words, and the slain nations and kings are alive in the end
@brmorris He ripped off people for his Genesis book as well.
@brucewilson Oh man. Ahmanson gets massive returns on investment. I don’t think George W Bush would have won in 2000 without Ahmanson (via Olasky).
Want to see how RJ Rushdoony Howard & Roberta Ahmanson (below) Marvin Olasky were able to: -Get Gingrich to flip congress -Make Doug Wilson famous -Get GW Bush elected -Pave the way for Trcmp Buckle up! 🧵/1
@brmorris *Very* interesting! A data point I'd been unaware of, in the history of Ahmanson promotion of Rushdoony ideas.
And keep in mind that Schaeffer created a generation of Christian political warfare leaders: Douglas Wilson Marvin Olasky Tim LaHaye 14/
Douglas Wilson, 2009: Francis "Schaeffer was just a gateway drug for some of us." Wilson watched the movies about Schaeffer funded by Richard DeVos. Schaeffer was making Rushdoony's ideas pour into the consciousness of American Evangelicalism. 1/
Schaeffer’s clear calls for revolution. 13/
Francis Schaeffer: “Now you mentioned about our present laws, present taxes…what we’re facing in this country is far beyond what they [1770’s colonists] were facing — and if they thought they had to stand against tyranny, we better stand against tyranny. And we have tyranny!”…
Jerry Falwell bought 10s of thousands of A Christian Manifesto to send out to his followers and he used Schaeffer as a means to convince evangelicals of the need to fight for the right. 9/
So Jerry Falwell has Schaeffer on his radio show. “AND WE'RE GOING TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN, AS DR. SCHAEFFER IS, TO TRY TO TURN THIS NATION AROUND” “DR. SCHAEFFER'S A CHRISTIAN MANIFESTO. IT IS SOMETHING EVERY CHILD OF GOD SHOULD READ.” 10/
If you watch this entire video, you’ll see very little distinction between Schaeffer and RJ Rushdoony’s Reconstruction ideology. In the end, Schaeffer calls for violent revolution of the government because it’s not following God’s laws. 8/
Pat Robertson, 1982: “If you have a Christian state, what is law? If you have a humanist state, what is law?” Francis Schaeffer: “If you have a Christian state, or, uh, let’s not say ‘Christian state,’ but, uh, a state that has founded on a Christian consensus.”
Francis Schaeffer’s 1982 A Christian Manifesto was not Schaeffer’s original material. 1. John Whitehead, Rushdoony’s disciple, wrote the first draft 2. Accusations of plagiarism were made after publication Who were the accusers? Reconstructionists. Come see who and how 🧵/1

Such an undertold story: Republicans are corrupt AF and Dems just aren't.
Handy chart here of the last ten presidents, the number of federal indictments of Administration officials each president had while in office, and then the average number of indictments per year. There's kind of a pattern here.
