Now there's another MAGA loyalty oath (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When it comes to MAGA, there’s always another document to sign, another loyalty oath, another pledge of allegiance. Declaring MAGA purity underscores the anxiety always present in the movement. Sen. Josh Hawley, the latest MAGA darling, offers a Declaration of Life. The document offers no new information but is another anti-abortion diatribe. Hawley and MAGA represent what Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt, in Tyranny of the Minority, call “the retreat from democracy.” Loyalty oaths are for ins
Jeffress has no authority to question Talarico's faith (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In my childhood, there were moments when Mama would say, “I’ve had about all I’m going to take of you, young man.” I mention Mama because Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas needs Mama’s admonition. Jeffress has this haughty habit of overloading his mouth with hyperbolic accusations. Ever since he became “Trump’s apostle” in 2015, Jeffress has used his Fox News pulpit to make the most outrageous statements. He has declared the Democratic Party a “godless party,” liberal seminary professors a
How Ed Sheeran's tour became a political circus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Robert Kraft, the billionaire owner of the New England Patriots, banned Macklemore from opening Ed Sheeran’s show at Gillette Stadium. The tour promoter banned Macklemore from other shows on the tour, and now all the opening acts have quit in protest. Almost everyone has an opinion about Macklemore and Kraft. But it’s so much bigger because it involves Israel and Gaza, Jews and Palestinians. This is not a single speech act, but a centuries-old blood rivalry getting more and more rancorous and em
Jeffress is selling evangelical fear (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Robert Jeffress spoke at the GOP Midterm Convention in Dallas Sept. 10, he was selling old evangelical fear. He attacked James Talarico, the Texas Democratic nominee for U.S. senator, as “blasphemous” and “evil.” He declared Talarico’s beliefs “not beliefs that any true Christian could support ever.” I’ve never seen a preacher so afraid of a Presbyterian seminarian. Scared preachers can’t think right. If there was any doubt Jeffress is not only wrong, but yes, plain stupid, listen to his wo
There’s no history like fake MAGA history (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nothing can surpass the certainty of American conservatives, even when they’re wrong. Right-wing blogger Matt Walsh is the latest to prove this. He has produced a seven-part series on Watergate in which he claims the history of Watergate has been a series of lies. His work is the equivalent of junk food. He shows his hand with the title, “The Real History of Watergate.” Historian Lynn Hunt observes in History: Why It Matters, “Everywhere you turn history is at issue. Politicians (and bloggers an
