The result, we argue, is not simply partisan messaging but a broader political project aimed at redefining who counts as a “real” American and rolling back the pluralistic aspirations that emerged from the civil rights revolution.

We place this rhetoric in historical context, tracing the long-running conflict between civic and ethnic visions of American identity- from the nation’s founding through the Civil Rights era and into today’s MAGA movement.

My latest Sunday interview for @straightwhitejc.bsky.social: @thomaszimmer.bsky.social and I spoke about recent speeches and rhetoric from Trump, Vance, Rubio, and Senator Eric Schmitt and their vision of the US rooted in ancestry, heritage, and “blood and soil” nationalism.

The Trump era has given rise to this whole new emotion of being simultaneously angry over how evil something is and how stupid it is, which I'm sure the Germans have a word for but I don't.

Had a great conversation with @ardenthistorian.bsky.social on the Straight White American Jesus podcast:
 
About MAGA’s assault on history, the Trumpist project to redefine national identity, and how America First at home and aggressive Western supremacism abroad are intimately connected:

Die AfD hat in Ba-Wü gestern mehr als 18% bekommen. Nichts daran ist normal oder hinnehmbar. Denn die AfD ist und bleibt ne Faschopartei, die die plurale Demokratie abschaffen will. Und ihre Wähler*innen sind erwachsene Menschen, die Verantwortung für ihre gefährlichen Entscheidungen tragen.

The view of Tehran’s skyline overnight on Sunday was apocalyptic: Billowing smoke and towering oil fires turned the horizon orange as Israeli strikes ignited fuel depots outside the Iranian capital. By morning, dark, oily smoke hung over the city. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

Woman suing Trump over alleged teen rape drops suit, again The lawyer who organized the event said Donald Trump's accuser had received threats and was too frightened to show up.

This story is from 4 days before Trump was elected in 2016; I’ll never get why it wasn’t a bigger deal.

“A woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her two decades ago when she was a 13-year-old…model has…dropped a federal lawsuit over the alleged assaults.”

The “Tehran Square” Hegseth refers to here does not exist. He’s probably thinking of Tahrir Square in Cairo. Azadi Square would be the rough equivalent in Iran.

Trump doesn’t get to decide when Hormuz gets reopened so it’ll be curious to see if he decides to order some REALLY STUPID to try and force it open.

The Desire for Terror And the defense of democracy

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections.

The problem and blame doesn't just fall on Trump. But the US senators who confirmed this cabinet -- especially Pete Hegseth -- should never escape blame for the moral failure they have inflicted on the world.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio meets with Secretary Rubio

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them.

Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…”

Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.
