My latest—why Trump’s fight with Pope Leo XIV may hurt Republicans in the midterms. Short answer: Catholics are not his fawning white evangelical Protestants. With maps and charts!
open.substack.com/pub/robertpj...
Checkout this great new analysis from @robertpjones.bsky.social on how Trump's attacks on Pope Leo may have implications for the midterms, using @PRRI's American Values Atlas.

On the @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social, @robertpjones.bsky.social described Trump’s controversial image as depicting “a particular sort of savior, it’s one that not only is healing the sick, but is ushering in this image of a white Christian militant America”

Well this is both horrifying and unsurprising.
Great work by @prri.org to get this data and work toward rigorous definitions and methods
I'll add some thoughts below, but want to say this conversation between @gregsargent.bsky.social and @robertpjones.bsky.social is insightful and excellent.
My latest - what it means that a majority of Republicans and white evangelicals now embrace the term "Christian nationalism."

@robertpjones.bsky.social notes that within the U.S., Christian nationalists are pushing the “European Christianity that is being envisioned as the ideal for the country… It’s talk about a homeland and a homeland that belongs to one religious and ethnic group.” Listen:
This is a very good convo w @katherinestewart.bsky.social @robertpjones.bsky.social on Christian Nationalism, Hegseth, & cult leader Doug Wilson
Even if you‘re outside the US, this is a valuable convo because this is a Xtian dominionist movement & their goal is global

The left isn't secular. Most Democrats are religious, says @prri.org president @robertpjones.bsky.social, but their faith traditions are far more diverse than those on the right. That distinction plays out politically.
🎧 See link to the full episode in the comments.
How embedded is Christian nationalism in American life? 3 in 10 qualify as adherents or sympathizers. @prri.org's @robertpjones.bsky.social breaks down what's driving it, where it's concentrated, and what it means for democracy as we approach our 250th anniversary. 🎧 Link to episode in comments.
If it weren't bad enough that we've reverted to pre-Voting Rights Act levels of democratic wellbeing, look at how we compare to this set of autocracies:
41% favor allowing the government to detain undocumented immigrants in internment camps until they're deported. Support is driven by Republicans and white Christians, especially white evangelical Protestants and white Catholics.

My take. What a new international report says abt why 2026 is a critical turning point for American democracy: The rapid democratic backsliding the US has experienced in the last year is unprecedented in both American history or the modern world.

While Trump still enjoys high Republican support on immigration, a twelve point drop (90% to 78%) is not insignificant.

My take on PRRI's new survey: Most Americans want a more humane approach to immigration and do not support indiscriminate mass deportation, the construction of concentration camps on U.S. soil, and the increasingly violent tactics of ICE.

Amid everything else, this week the US, Israel and Argentina were the only nations to vote against United Nations resolution to recognize slavery as a ‘Crime Against Humanity’.
