In an excerpt of his upcoming book The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: #American #Evangelicals in an Age of #Extremism The #Atlantic's Tim Alberta on Tuesday delivers a harrowing personal account of the July 2019 death of his father and meeting the increasingly #MAGA members of the flock.
RIGHT VS LEFT: Interesting article comparing the political success of the radical right and the radical left on an EU level, and why the former appears to have more electoral appeal than the latter - for now.

Milei’s solution for the crisis — as far as he has revealed — is some version of neoliberal shock therapy, with deregulation and draconian cuts to public spending. As noted, this has all been done before... So Milei, like Menem-Cavallo, wants to sell off the few state-owned companies still standing. This, however, will take time — time that the crisis might not give him. #Argentina #Melei #economics #libertarianism #extremism #policy #LatinAmerica #inflation https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/25/argentina-milei-libertarian-agenda-history/

It never fails to amaze how humans will take every single damn thing, bad OR good to it's most ridiculous extreme. This is why so many causes manage to turn away potential supporters. Extremism in it's most exaggerated form turns everyone off, not just the "other side".
Finding a balance, choosing the battles with intelligence and reason, engaging common sense and education... This is what wins at the end of the day.

The lesson is that capitalism, fuelled by cronyism, corruption, incompetence, and opportunists seeking to only advance themselves, will ensure fascism is the outcome. There is no future with fascism; only decay and collapse.

The Economist argues that Trump's #ForeignPolicy & #macroeconomic policies would have a significant negative impact on the #world as a whole. #Trump would almost certainly make moves to gut #NATO. And he may very well pursue another package of tax cuts for the wealthy as he did in 2017, which would spike #inflation & drag down #global #economic #markets.
However, the Economist warns that the greatest danger Trump presents is in "his own country."
The article argues that a #Trump win would be "more damaging" & asserts that “China & its friends would rejoice over the evidence that American #democracy is dysfunctional" & could give the communist nation the incentive to invade its island neighbor, #Taiwan. In addition, #Russia’s *President* #Putin "would have an incentive” to continue waging war in Ukraine & to then move on to other “former Soviet countries such as Moldova or the Baltic states”.

"This is the fourth time the extremists have defeated special rules in the House this year, and as deputy chief of staff for Representative Don Beyer (D-VA) Aaron Fritschner pointed out, their doing so is highly unusual. In the previous 20 years the House voted down no such measures at all.
Although they were in the middle of a 17-vote series, the Republicans then recessed the House until after Thanksgiving."

Religious #Extremism is tearing the #MiddleEast apart, meanwhile the moderate, secular majority sit by in despair fearing it's they who'll pay the ultimate cost in terms of global peace.
Enough of this unhinged Stoneage madness!
Trump's revenge term?
If Donald Trump wins in 2024 he's going to install a pre-vetted, pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists across the government, including the military.
Their mission: To carry out his plans for a "revenge term."

In a San Francisco courtroom, #PaulPelosi, the husband of Rep #NancyPelosi, spoke for the first time publicly about the brutal attack last year that left him hospitalized for days w/a cracked skull. The #testimony came during the federal #trial of #DavidDePape, who has been accused of bludgeoning #Pelosi as he sought out Speaker Pelosi.

Tories are planning to officially redefine "extremism" as anything that "aims to overturn or undermine the UK’s system of parliamentary democracy, its institutions and values" — a hideously (and probably deliberately) overbroad and vague "definition" that could be used against nearly anyone the government doesn't like.
US conservatives would love to do this, too.

Today, in subversive unpatriotic gatherings all over the UK, followers of Jesus (who said, "my kingdom is not of this world", while on trial for sedition - then he was executed by Rome), will pray, "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done" (then go out & run foodbanks). Their forebears were martyred for refusing to say, "Caesar is LORD". On Coronation day, some of us said, "We have no king but Jesus" - arrests were made. Careful, Suella. Remember Rome, and 325AD.

When I first learned about the rise of the #ThirdReich, I could not fathom how it was even possible! How was it even possible to get to that stage without people opposing?
Now, we see it play out in plain view all over #America in broad daylight, with all of us connected via #SocialMedia like never before in #History. Yet, the #MAGA march continues relentlessly and with little opposition.
#MainstreamMedia has given up and is #complicit in the rise of #extremism

Operating under #evangelical principles, he believes they don't deserve #equalprotection under the constitution, relegating queer Americans to #secondclasscitizens.

A video of neo-nazis dining at Torchy's Tacos went viral on TikTok and Twitter. The same hate group was seen outside an #LGBTQIA+ affirming church in the #Dallas area.
Earlier this week, we revealed their identity: https://www.texasobserver.org/unmasking-texas-neo-nazis/

But nothing they showed that day at the #Adidas company’s German HQ captured the vision #KanyeWest shared. To convey how offensive he considered the designs, he grabbed a sketch of a shoe & took a marker to the toe, according to two participants. Then he drew a swastika.
(that was day one)
The #Adidas team was huddled w/ #KanyeWest, pitching ideas for the first shoe they would create together. It was 2013, & the rapper & the sportswear brand had just agreed to become prtnrs. The Adidas employees, thrilled to get started, had arrayed sneakers & fabric swatches on a long table near a mood board pinned w/images.
#Kanye & #Adidas: Money, #Misconduct & the Price of #Appeasement
Before Adidas broke w/ #KanyeWest last fall over #antisemitic public remarks, it had tolerated years of his abusive conduct behind the scenes.

"Johnson’s ascent is a product of both the GOP’s ideological conformity and its ongoing loyalty to Trump. His record in the House is no more moderate than Jordan’s, whose preference for antagonism over compromise turned off an ultimately decisive faction of the party."

That possibility — a Trump victory in 2024 — becomes more and more possible because the horrors unfolding in the Middle East now have Democratic voters pitted against each other, doing what we Democrats do best of all — tearing away at the solidarity we desperately need to resist a political party that is pushing fascism on steroids and promising to usher in an authoritarian theocratic state if it gains total control of the federal government.
