Please. No. Not again. Can we please have a smooth, election certification? Or do we need to start rethinking the certification process? #thedivider #january6 #electioncertification #4yearslater #politicalscience #uspolitics #speakerofthehouse #president #vicepresident

Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation | Kristin Kobes Du Mez

pick

This fascinating piece of non fiction was a deeply researched exploration of the intersection of faith, culture, and politics. It made me think about the assumptions our society makes about religion and shines a light on the complex and often corrupt history and values of white evangelicalism. Really compelling on #audio . #BookspinBingo

Soscha Have you ever listened to Public Enemy, the rap group, “Fight the Power”? Gots a lyric about John Wayne, searing stuff. I‘ve said this before but tis true. I grew up in uber-White small town Iowa. “Fear of a Black Planet” was my entré & education on race & racism. 3h

Going off the last post, what if Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell had agreed last minute to prevent the certification of electoral votes and the January 6 mob was outside the Capitol and didn‘t get the message? Because let‘s be honest, at that point, no matter what happened inside, the Capitol would have been breached. I think that‘s what gets me. The alternative outcome most likely would not have prevented the insurrection.

Alternate history: As a historian, political science, and counterterrorism studies major, there‘s a lot of what ifs with January 6: What if there really was proven voter fraud? What if, in the middle of politics, we missed an opportunity to investigate fraud and fraud going forward? What if Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell would have stopped the vote? Would it have changed the outcome? I don‘t know.
