Biden Out + JD Vance’s Postliberal Monarchist Catholicism (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast)

In this episode, we react to President Joe Biden’s surprising decision not to seek reelection, focusing on Kamala Harris’s rapid emergence as the new Democratic frontrunner after raising $60 million in one day. 

We examine the implications of a Harris candidacy and explore JD Vance’s connections with reactionary Catholic intellectuals and Silicon Valley monarchists. 

Additionally, the show reviews Patrick Deneen’s vision of ‘common good conservatism’ and Curtis Yarvin’s radical political ideas, while touching on the influence of conspiracism in American religion and politics. The discussion highlights how certain religious traditions can prime individuals, especially American evangelicals and Christian nationalists, to believe in conspiracy theories.
