The Week's Recommended Reading on Substack:
Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood write that “those refusing to accept the reality of the term even as they advance Christian Nationalism do so because they fear the definitional power could threaten their ideological agendas.”
Judd Legum writes that “advocates of the independent state legislature theory argue that this means that, apart from Congress, the state legislature has absolute power over the administration of elections. This power, according to the theory, cannot be constrained by state constitutions or state courts.”
Jessica Pishko writes that the “Oath Keepers is one of several militia groups that orient themselves around a devotion to guns and a conspiracy-laden suspicion of federal and state governments.”
Aaron Rupar writes that “as Trump launched into a rant about how American is “in decline” and “a failing nation,” funereal music began to play. It continued as Trump hypnotically droned on about grievances ranging from Hunter Biden’s laptop to gas prices.”
Jared Yates Sexton writes that “that Bannon’s crime was so intertwined with bedrock principles of the Make America Great Again Movement - aggression toward immigrants and a repudiation of open, liberal society - is no accident.”
