One is an ancient tyrant who demanded idol worship. The other is from Babylon.

Tribalism isn't a flaw. It's ancient wiring that kept us alive.
The problem is it hasn't caught up with civil society. And staying in real conversation across difference isn't natural. It's a decision.
Braver Angels' Wilk Wilkinson on the new episode. Link below.

“We don’t need yet another commentary about how uncivil the current occupant of the Oval Office is. But this is the latest painful reminder that those of us who still have some semblance of good will and good faith have work to do.”

Be water, my friend. New piece on civic renewal, cross-difference conversations, and why a small handful of pub conversations might make all the difference in the world.

There are now some wonderful words that individuals and movements have claimed and essentially redefined. We’re stealing them back.

My latest on Substack: substack.com/@coreysnatha...

Our vocabulary is being colonized by those whose actions and character render them unqualified to commandeer such valuable words. As Bono once said of Helter Skelter, “This is a song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles; we’re stealing it back!”

Trump ran on getting OUT of foreign wars. Then launched one without a congressional vote. Some of his voters are noticing the gap. This essay is for them and for anyone trying to talk to them.

When the Constitution Becomes the Obstacle A guide for talking to Trump voters about executive power and the republic

substack.com/@coreysnatha...

Many voters supported policies.

The question is whether they supported abandoning constitutional limits to achieve them.

New essay: When the Constitution Becomes the Obstacle

When the Constitution Becomes the Obstacle

The argument:

Supporting deportations, tariffs, or cultural pushback is one thing.

Supporting the dismantling of constitutional guardrails to achieve those goals is something else.

The first step is admitting it.

New episode. 🎙https://www.politicsandreligion.us/e/republic-or-ruler/

@jonrauch.bsky.social spent yrs resisting the word "fascism." He used it last month. Rauch isn't a cable news partisan. He wrote the book defending free inquiry from both the left AND right.
If he's finally saying it, the ? isn't whether he went too far. It's why so many of us are still hesitating.

Gustavo Arellano's father crossed into the U.S. in the trunk of a Chevy. Eventually became a citizen. Never missed an election.
@gustavoarellano.bsky.social has spent 25 years covering immigration. New episode of TP&R -- and it's a good one.

If it’s Talarico vs Paxton in TX, it’ll be one to watch. Otherwise, it’s fools gold for Dems.
