Wait, what? Trump is going to install his Proj2025 army to “fix” everything so Christians won’t have to vote again. That’s a bit of a problem.

They are mobilizing poll workers not to be good public servants, but to be "trojan horses" to make biased decisions when the "chaos" starts. Buckle up, people, It's still only July.

Joshua Caleb Standifer's organization Lion of Judah represents an urgent & unrecognized hazard to our democracy this fall. It's targeting election workers. I was at this event on Monday. I talked to Standifer himself. So please, watch this video, & I'll continue... 1/

And just to reinforce what Matt is saying here, the link between prophecy belief and belief in 2020 election fraud is really strong. There are a lot of these folks out there to be recruited: religioninpublic.blog/2022/11/08/pro…

Excited to start my Tenure-track gig at Tennessee State University in Nashville. Already exhausted. Can you believe they are gonna let me shape young mind?!? The hills are steep here!!! Pray for my sanity and legs.

We know from survey data collected by Paul Djupe & others that these ideas are spreading rapidly among American Christians, esp'ly as Trump's 2020 election lies are supercharging his supporters' extremism & sense of alienation from broader culture. 17/ religioninpublic.blog/2024/05/13/bel…

Wow! So honored to have my scholarship featured again on On the Media w/ Brooke Gladstone. I'm very grateful that this show has been a leader in sounding the alarms about the rising tide of Christian extremism amid this election. h/t to Paul Djupe for his top notch survey research.

#APSA2024 is less than a week away! I am beyond thrilled for this "Religion and Civic Engagement" panel with amazing panelists (including Paul Djupe), actual Philly community members, food, and networking! Come make connections! APSA APSA Religion & Politics Section 11 APSA Civic Engagement

I had the privilege of joining Major Garrett & an CBS News crew in Eau Claire, WI in July for a stop on Lance Wallnau's Courage Tour. It matters greatly that so many reporters & outlets are tracking these anti-democratic New Apostolic Reformation leaders this election cycle.

Happening now in PCC 202b - a panel honoring the community engaged religion and politics work by Rebecca Glazier! ⁦Temple Univ Press⁩ ⁦Dr. Rebecca Glazier⁩

A great article by Tess Owen on Wallnau & election mobilization efforts. Shout out to Matthew D. Taylor & Paul Djupe for their work too!

Amazingly timely academic research! They find that while Swift can encourage interest in voting, Swifties are less enthused when she endorses a Democrat. Nice writeup in The Hill.

This is the NAR leader that CBS Evening News uncritically platformed, in a recent segment, rather than grilling him on his anti-democratic, Christian supremacist agenda. Also, @KiraResistance needs your support. gofund.me/e8203c1d

Very important news: J.D. Vance is planning a town hall on Saturday, hosted by the Lance Wallnau Show at the Courage Tour. This is Vance's endorsement of one of the worst, most conspiratorial, Christian supremacist spectacles in the country. 1/ donaldjtrump.com/news/90bcf4fd-…

This was a very interesting (and timely!) piece to research for U.S. Catholic magazine. Thanks to all the wonderful sources, including Rev. Angela Denker ! (Also, @stevenpmillies, Matthew D. Taylor, Alison McQueen of Stanford, Paul Djupe, Jeanne Lewis of Faith in Public Life and David Dault is editing today (He, His) )

Glad to see The Economist giving good coverage to the spread of spiritual warfare and related rhetoric on the right. As Matthew D. Taylor and I have documented, militaristic charismatic beliefs are spreading fast within American Christianity. economist.com/united-states/…

Of all the things on this list, the one that has the most disagreement is making college affordable. Surely some of that is from older people, but gah. Here’s the ladder and fewer want to climb it.

In this transition to a 2nd Trump admin, we need more coverage like this great article by Molly Olmstead (Slate). Yes, Trump won by using economic appeals, but he also won thru religious appeals & 2020 conspiracy theories. That's driving the agenda too. slate.com/news-and-polit…

I expect big things to come from this move. So excited for Brooklyn and UTK!
