(Photo YouTube) When your grandchildren and/or aliens from another planet ask “Just how weird did the 2016 election get?” don’t say a thing! Just pray this add is still on YouTube and say “Watch!” Trump just released an ad aimed at “winning over Indian-American-Hindu voters.” Frank Zappa at the height of his creative parody could not have made anything better. The difference is that Zappa would have been funny on purpose. Trump’s ad marks the total convergence of religion, politics... Read more

(Photo YouTube) There is a reason that the white American underclass is so out of step with the rest of America: if you live in a pretend world for long enough you snap. The white Trump-loving underclass is uneducated. But lack of university education isn’t their problem. Their problem is that they live in a fantasy world. That world was concocted by two implacable enemies of fact-based truth: evangelical Christianity and right wing mythology. And when I use the words... Read more

  InterVarsity is joining the ranks of what  might be called the Ralph Reed/Jerry Falwell Jr., Trumpian Angry Aging White Reactionaries Against Change and preaching the most vicious vision of Jesus as The Destroyer Of Decency And Empathy. As reported in Religion Dispatches by Deborah Jian Lee,  InterVarsity has rolled out a policy that calls for all staff who disagree with its hard line fundamentalist religious right theological position on gay rights to denounce themselves and quit by November 11.... Read more

(Photo YouTube) # Nostalgia for the lost era of white male boomer control created the Trump candidacy. Now it’s killing it. It is death by the weight of lies colliding with truth. America is going to hell, Trump claimed. The problem is that actually America is in great shape. Deal with it. # Writing in Salon (“Donald Trump Is the Right-wing, Aging White Boomers’ Last Gasp: The Future May Look Brighter”) David Masciotra notes that: The United States currently has... Read more

(Photo YouTube) I’ve been on the Rachel Maddow show many times but this show without me is the one to watch… explains a lot about the lies right wing media tell, and just how perverse and real the intersection between racism and the right is, and what made Trump’s rise possible… Trump’s racism is no aberration but “mainstream” as this show proves in another context. Maddow on Posse Comitatus, “sovereign citizens”, Jim Crow, FOX News, Right Wing Media racists filth,... Read more

I think it is time we talk to our “enemies” when we can… When Trump is gone, what’s left? We have to rebuild… so I’m starting a new Patheos blog with a self-described redneck evangelical (Luke Moon). We plan to act as if we can get along and have a rational discussion about life, faith and politics. Here’s our first joint effort. I hope you follow us.

(photo YouTube)   Putin is waging a global campaign to discredit the very idea of democracy. “Trump has joined his cause,” (as Jonathan Chait noted in New York magazine). The debate culminated in Trump refusing to pledge that he would accept the outcome of the election – a statement of disloyalty to the American system of government without precedent since 1860, when Southern Democrats vowed to leave the union if the Republican Party prevailed. Post-debate anyone still voting for Trump... Read more
