I recently had a conversation with Tobias Cremer about his new book, The Godless Crusade: Religion, Populism, and Right-Wing Identity Politics in the West. (Click the link for the conversation). In it, Cremer demonstrates that the MAGA movement is not unique to America but instead represents “the Europeanization of American politics.”
With populism and performative cruelty having possessed the Republican Party and with illiberalism rising on the Left, democracy appears increasingly the fragile venture John Adams feared. Given the times, I think this series of conversations we had with our friend Dr. Jeffrey Pugh is evergreen, Bonhoeffer for Troubled Times.
My pod posse did these during the pandemic and I think they’re worth revisiting.
I’ll link them all here for ease of finding:
