“Projecting Enemies” (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It’s in the Code ep 172

Josh Hawley argues that “man’s mission” is to combat evil. Defining men in this way makes evil necessary, and it transforms every political, social, and cultural disagreement into a moral conflict of cosmic significance. In this episode, Dan shows how this leads Hawley to distort the “modern culture” and “liberals” he opposes. He also looks at the ways in which Hawley, and those who share his worldview, accuse their opponents of doing exactly the same things they do in practice, and he discusses why understanding this is so important. Take a listen to hear more!

“It’s the Same Story” (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It’s in the Code ep 169

Josh Hawley argues that American “liberals” (anyone who isn’t a conservative Christian) don’t have a story to tell about men’s purpose in the world. 

But it turns out things are a lot more complicated than he lets on. It turns out that those “liberals” just might have a story worth telling after all. And, even worse for him, it turns out that his story actually isn’t so different from theirs after all. 

What is this story? How is it similar to and different from the story Hawley wants to tell? And what will that mean for Hawley’s ongoing exploration of manhood? Take a listen to this week’s episode to find out!

Democratic cities prepare for worst after Trump’s tirades against DC and LA

"President Trump constantly creates a narrative that cities like Seattle are liberal hellholes and we are lawless, and that is just not the fact," said Bruce Harrell, the mayor of Seattle. "We are the home of great communities and great businesses. So his view of our city is not aligned with reality. It's to distract the American people from his failures as a president."…

Opinion | JD Vance Just Blurbed a Book Arguing That Progressives Are Subhuman - The New York Times

The word "fascist" gets thrown around a lot in politics, but it's hard to find a more apt one for "Unhumans," which came out last month. The book argues that leftists don't deserve the status of human beings — that they are, as the title says, unhumans — and that they are waging a shadow war against all that is good and decent, which will end in apocalyptic slaughter if they are not stopped. "As they are opposed to humanity itself, they place themselves outside of the category completely, in an entirely new misery-driven subdivision, the unhuman," write Posobiec and Lisec...

Opinion | The Authoritarians Have the Momentum - The New York Times

The great strength of the authoritarians who oppose liberal principles, from Trump to Xi to Hamas, is that they play straight into the primordial sources of meaning that are deeper than individual preference — faith, family, soil and flag. The authoritarians tell their audiences that the liberals want to take all that is solid — from your morality to your gender — and reduce it to the instability of a personal whim. They tell their throngs that the liberals are threatening their vestigial loyalties. They continue: We need to break the rules in order to defend these sacred bonds. We need a strongman to defend us from social and moral chaos...

5 takeaways from liberals’ big election-night win in Wisconsin - POLITICO

Their pick, Janet Protasiewicz, won the most expensive state judicial race in American history, and it's an election with consequences. After more than a decade in the wilderness, Democrats are picturing a future where Republicans don't have an automatic lock on state government in one of the country's most important swing states.

And, importantly, a liberal court is widely expected to knock down an 1840s era abortion ban that's been on the books and only revived after Roe v. Wade fell last summer...

Liberal groups devote millions to blocking GOP election deniers - The Washington Post

"MAGA leaders intend to use 2022 midterm wins to install Trump in 2024 regardless of the vote," read a slide of the PowerPoint Hoffman presented to the group, which was obtained by The Washington Post. He was pitching some of the nation's wealthiest people on a doomsday idea that has become a growing obsession among the liberal donor community. Another slide, titled "How MAGA midterms can install Trump," laid out a step-by-step hypothetical scenario: Republicans win statewide offices in key battleground states in 2022 and then change state laws in 2023 to give legislatures control over presidential electors. After the next presidential election, they declare votes from urban centers "tainted" and overrule the popular vote by sending their own slate of electors to Washington...

How ‘Owning the Libs’ Became the GOP’s Core Belief - POLITICO

... Take the man at his word: Bongino's preoccupation, then and now, is owning the libs more than securing any kind of policy outcome or vote in the Senate. He's continued to do so even despite quitting Twitter in protest after his account was restricted amid the January 6 riots; his content is consistently among the most shared on all of Facebook...

Donald Trump and Kyle Rittenhouse: GOP embraces “kill the libs” as policy.

If Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis gets his way, people who merely attend a protest that results in property damage will be prosecuted for felonies. Yelling at someone in a restaurant as part of such a protest will be a criminal offense. And a driver who kills demonstrators with his car will not be liable for their deaths, as long as he is “fleeing for safety from a mob.” These are just a few of the policies proposed by DeSantis in a package meant to chill dissent and punish those in the streets demanding an end to racist police violence.....
