Chuck DarwinWith the history of shipbuilding in the region and the role it plays in US defense, it makes sense to have this kind of project in the region, said state assembly member <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lori" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lori</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wilson</a>, and it would bring significant opportunities. If it were to move ahead, Wilson expects the shipyard could become the largest employer in the county.Wilson said she had heard from many constituents about the project, most of whom were supportive. Some have expressed concern about the environmental impacts of the maritime industry and the role of California Forever, given the level of distrust that exists with the organization. The lawmaker has herself been skeptical of the company.“That’s something as a legislative representative for this area I’m mindful of, but it’s not something I can address. It’s up to them to build trust.”Still, even those who did not support plans for a new city are interested in this project, Wilson said. “Folks are really excited about this opportunity and [the potential] for shipbuilding to come back to Solano county. There is a groundswell of support for this project and I’m really excited to do my part to bring this to fruition.”Vacaville mayor Carli expects the community will look beyond the landowners. “I’m confident residents will recognize and support this project if the opportunity would present itself here locally,” Carli said. “It merits thoughtful discussion with the community to understand this is different than a proposed city.”

Chuck DarwinDeputy Pentagon Press Secretary <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kingsley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kingsley</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wilson</a>’s posts — which include comparing the murders of Israeli babies during the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks to abortion and spreading the far-right “great replacement theory” — have angered lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. “It’s horrible, it’s just not appropriate,” said Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), when told of Wilson’s remarks. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) first called out Wilson’s controversial comments in February after she posted on X to “Make Kosovo Serbia Again.” The phrase echoed Russia’s desires for the tiny American ally in the Western Balkans, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008 after years of brutal crackdowns.But the discovery of Wilson’s past posts touting antisemitic and seemingly white supremacist views are sparking more widespread rebukes. “Anyone who posts antisemitic conspiracy theories lifted right out of the neo-Nazi playbook should not be in public office,” the American Jewish Committee, a pro-Israel and Jewish civil rights group, posted Wednesday on X. “Kingsley Wilson, newly appointed @DepPressSecDOD, is clearly unfit for her role.” <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/05/pentagon-aide-communications-antisemitic-comments-00215231" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.politico.com/news/2025/03/05/pentagon-aide-communications-antisemitic-comments-00215231</a>

Chuck DarwinOn Donald Trump’s first day in office, the Department of Defense announced a spate of hires, including 26-year-old <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kingsley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kingsley</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wilson</a>, who will serve as the Pentagon’s deputy press secretary. Wilson is the daughter of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Steve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Steve</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Cortes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cortes</a>, a longtime Trump advisor and right-wing commentator who promotes Latinos moving to the political right. Wilson is also a Trump 2020 campaign alum, and until taking the job at the DoD, ran digital media and communications for the Center for Renewing America, a pro-Trump think tank founded by Project 2025 architect Russell Vought. She’s also an overt internet troll with a long history of bigoted, xenophobic, and deliberately provocative shitposting. Wilson in many ways embodies the face of the new Trump administration: she’s worked in the MAGA world for seemingly her entire, very short career; besides her roles in the Trump campaign and at the Center for Renewing America, she also served as the national committeewoman for the DC Young Republicans. She also briefly worked at Gettr, the social media platform founded by former Trump aide <a href="https://c.im/tags/Jason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Jason</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Miller" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Miller</a> and with deep links to fugitive Chinese mogul <a href="https://c.im/tags/Guo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Guo</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wengui" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wengui</a>.When she wasn’t doing any of that, Wilson was busy reeling off an endless tweets excoriating immigrants and trans people, advocating for what she called “zero immigration and mass deportations,” and bemoaning the “death of the West,” a term popularized by Pat Buchanan and often used by nativist, isolationist, and white nationalist groups to argue that immigration dilutes “Western” culture.At least twice, Wilson also repeated long-debunked lies online about the lynching death of Leo Frank, a Jewish man who was kidnapped from a Georgia prison and murdered in 1915, claiming he was guilty of the murder for which most modern historians agree he was wrongly convicted. She also claimed the Black Lives Matter movement had an “affinity for race-based violence,” and derided George Floyd, the Black man murdered by a white police officer in Minneapolis, a “career criminal,” and scornfully called him “Saint George Floyd.”“If you identify as transgender and/or are undergoing hormone therapy —you should NOT be allowed to legally purchase a firearm,” she posted, in one of her many tweets claiming transgender people are abnormal or mentally ill. “In a healthy country… transgender people aren’t visible,” she tweeted in 2024 (ellipses hers).Wilson also explicitly lent her support to Great Replacement theory, a racist and xenophobic conspiracy theory that holds that non-white immigrants are being lured to the United States to replace white Americans. “The Great Replacement isn’t a right-wing conspiracy theory… it’s reality,” she tweeted in 2024, over a screenshot of a Bloomberg article about the growth of the U.S. Hispanic population. Wilson also called to “make Kosovo Serbia again,” a particularly weird stance for an American now working in the Pentagon; the United States has recognized Kosovo as an independent state since 2008 and maintains troops there as part of peacekeeping efforts.Wilson also lent her support for the German far-right party AfD, tweeting in 2024, “Globalist elites hate AfD because they put Germans before foreign migrants and radical Islam. Ausländer Raus!”Wilson has tweeted the phrase “Ausländer Raus” at least four times, including the slogan, “Deutschland den Deutschen. Ausländer raus.” The phrase, which means, “Germany for Germans, foreigners out,” is explicitly considered to be an extremist slogan in Germany with neo-Nazi roots; in fact, a 1992 paper about its use among German skinheads is available on a Department of Justice website. At least one German prosecutor has said that using the phrase is a criminal offense. Nonetheless, the chant has been adopted by some young AfD supporters. A video of the chant being sung at a trendy bar in the holiday island of Sylt sparked an enormous controversy last summer, and again when it was sung a month later at a village festival in Germany. (Non-Germans signaling their contempt for immigration, including accused human trafficker Tristan Tate, have also tweeted the phrase.)Wilson’s career seems to have followed a dual track, both making the rounds in DC politics and the Trump campaign and flirting with a career as an online provocateur —though those roles that are increasingly blurred in the MAGAfied Republican party. During her time at the Center for Renewing America, the Vought-founded think tank, she appeared as a talking head on conservative news sites like The Blaze, and has appeared multiple times on the podcast of Tim Pool’s, the once “heterodox” streamer who’s become increasingly far-right.<a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/03/kingsley-cortes-wilson-defense-department/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/03/kingsley-cortes-wilson-defense-department/</a>

Chuck DarwinStephen Wolfe grew up in Napa, California, and his father was an admirer of the right-wing pundit and erstwhile GOP presidential candidate Pat Buchanan. After attending West Point and serving in the Army, Wolfe earned advanced degrees before leaving academia to “do the Wendell Berry thing” in North Carolina with his wife and four kids.Over the summer, Wolfe, 41, agreed to speak with me on the condition that I refer to him as “Dr. Wolfe” and call him an “expert on Christian nationalism.” The Dr. Wolfe I spoke with was a more muted version of the firebrand I’d watched online. He said his ideal version of America would be led by a Caesar figure. Gay marriage would be strictly prohibited. Women would not be allowed to vote —instead, men would vote for their households.When I brought up the bit from his book about heretics being killed, he grew annoyed. “I do think it’s permissible, in principle, for a state to suppress theological heresy, but that doesn’t mean that it’s prudent or proper, suitable in every circumstance or every tradition or way of life.” The Founding Fathers, he added, had encouraged religious liberty, so killing heretics would not be appropriate in the United States that we inhabit.We turned to remarks he had made at a recent conference convened by Brian Sauvé: “I think we need to reflect on this idea of Judeo-Christianity, or Judeo-Christian worldview, or Judeo-Christian whatever, and really eradicate that from our thinking. Because if we say that America is a Judeo-Christian country, then it can’t be a Christian country, okay?” What role, I asked him, would Jews play? After a deep sigh, he told me that they would be allowed to “exercise their religion freely.”We spoke a week before Vance’s RNC speech, and Wolfe’s remarks helped me understand what the TheoBros heard in Vance’s phrase about "America as a people". The founders, Wolfe noted, intended for their country to be “Anglo-Protestant with an American inflection.” America, he continued, is “a place of settlement and rootedness, but it’s an open ethnicity in which people can become one of us.” Which is to say that, like some others, Wolfe is not necessarily opposed to the idea of nonwhite people in America —as long as they agree to assimilate to the Anglo-Protestant dominant culture.In this telling, America is not a pluralistic society at all, but rather one in which there exists an uneasy truce between Christians and those they reluctantly tolerate. Toward the end of our conversation, I asked Wolfe what motivated him. “I want Christians to be more assertive and to recognize the Christian heritage of the American way of life, and to seek to restore that,” he said. “This is a Christian country, and we’ve got to work to restore it to what it once was"In his keynote address at Sauvé’s conference, titled “Why Multicultural Pluralism Fails and What to Build Instead,” Wolfe called the concept of America as a melting pot “an early 20th-century idea cooked up by a Jew in New York who despised the confident Anglo-Protestant establishment.” WASPs were the “distinct ethnicity” of America, he insisted, and America should only welcome those who aspired to assimilate. As he put it, “This is our homeland, and we welcome you on the condition of conformity.” Or, in the words of JD Vance, America “is a group of people.”<a

Chuck DarwinWilliam Wolfe served in the Trump administration both as the deputy assistant secretary of defense and as director of House affairs at the Department of State. He is also an alumnus of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Heritage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Heritage</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Action</a>, a sister organization of the Heritage Foundation, the arch-conservative think tank behind Project 2025, whose chief architect, Russell Vought, posted on X that he was “proud to work with @William_E_Wolfe on scoping out a sound Christian Nationalism.” A few months later, the Bucks County Beacon uncovered a lengthy online manifesto on the goals of Christian nationalists. The document, which listed Wolfe and Joel Webbon as contributing editors and Oklahoma Sen. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dusty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dusty</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deevers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Deevers</a> as a co-author, called for “civil magistrates” to usher in 💥“the establishment of the Ten Commandments as the foundational law of the nation.”The manifesto doesn’t specify exactly how Christian nationalists should achieve these goals. As Tabachnick, the extremism researcher, interprets it, the TheoBros are imagining a utopia where “they are going to be free to be entrepreneurs in all different senses, including the tech world that they’re mixing with so freely.” The key, she said, is that authoritarianism “is required to have the utopian vision.”Last year, the extremism watchdog group Right Wing Watch posted a video of Wolfe quoting a scripture passage. There are times when “even the God of peace proclaims by his providence, ‘to arms!’” he says. “If we have ever lived in a point of time in American history since then that we could argue that now is a time ‘to arms’ again, I think we are getting close.”William Wolfe’s Christian nationalism manifesto made the rounds on social media, but in mainstream conservative outlets, it was <a href="https://c.im/tags/Stephen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stephen</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wolfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wolfe</a> (no relation to William) who brought TheoBro ideas to the wider world. In his book, which was praised by editors at the Federalist and the American Conservative, Wolfe paints America as a “<a href="https://c.im/tags/gynocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gynocracy</a>” whose government and culture have been feminized by unhappy women leaders. (Sound familiar?) He has stated on X that women should not have the right to vote, and that “interethnic” marriage can be “sinful.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener

Chuck DarwinOne eager customer is 38-year-old TheoBro <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Andrew</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Isker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Isker</a> —the pastor who interned at Wilson’s church, studied divinity at New Saint Andrews, and co-wrote a book on Christian nationalism with <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Andrew</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Torba" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Torba</a>, the openly antisemitic CEO of the social media platform <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gab</a>. In July, Isker announced on X that he planned to move his family of seven to lead a church in a New Founding community in Tennessee. Life in his native Minnesota, he said, had become untenable because of permissive laws around trans rights and abortion, not to mention how hospitable the state has been to <a href="https://c.im/tags/refugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#refugees</a>. “Minnesota is one of the top destinations for resettling foreign people hostile to our way of life,” he said.That month, Isker spoke at a Texas conference about the “war on white America” alongside <a href="https://c.im/tags/Paul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paul</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Gottfried" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gottfried</a>, the mentor of prominent white nationalist <a href="https://c.im/tags/Richard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Richard</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Spencer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Spencer</a>. The conference was hosted by the "True Texas Project", a far-right group with ties to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.Like many TheoBros, Isker sees much to like in Vance. In early July, before Trump announced his running mate, Isker referred to him as “Senator JD Vance (R-Heritage America).” In late July, he posted a video of Vance and told his 29,000 followers, “You need to double down on childless cat lady discourse. Kamala sees happy, large families and hates them. She wants them destroyed. She wants you to never be able to have this. She is a nasty, bitter harridan who hates all that is true, good, and beautiful.”One problem is that there simply are not enough TheoBros to populate Christian communities like the one Isker plans to move to. Enter <a href="https://c.im/tags/William" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#William</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wolfe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wolfe</a>, the founder of the "Center for Baptist Leadership", which aims to persuade members of the Southern Baptist Convention that it, the largest of all Protestant denominations in the United States, has fallen prey to the corrupting forces of liberalism. Baptists are only the beginning. Wolfe wants to win over the entire evangelical mainstream, which he and other TheoBros refer to as “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Big" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Big</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Eva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eva</a>.” In August, he posted on X, “Once you realize that Big Eva thinks it’s a bigger sin to desire to preserve the customs, heritage, values, and cultural homogeneity of your own nation than to kill the unborn in the womb, you can better understand their moral framework.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Josh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Josh</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Abbotoy" class="mention hashtag"

Chuck DarwinIn August, Joel Webon remarked on his show that “a lot of people are gonna be surprised” when “you’re spending eternity worshipping Christ next to Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee and Jonathan Edwards, and, you know, George Whitefield and Martin Luther King Jr.’s in hell.”Webbon is so impressed by his own audacity that he maintains an online list of all the controversies in which he’s become embroiled. There, he explains why he called Christian men living in California “stupid” (they could just move to a red state); why he once ordered his wife to stop reading a book on theology (he didn’t want her exposed to beliefs that were different from his own); and why he believes in a patriarchal household structure (the Bible says so). Webbon, who is planning to host a conference in Texas next spring called “Christ Is King: How to Defeat Trashworld!” maintains that a “return to the Constitution is impossible” and that the only viable alternative is the Ten Commandments.Some of Wilson’s other acolytes are attempting to create their own versions of Moscow, Idaho. Take <a href="https://c.im/tags/Brian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brian</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sauv%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sauvé</a>, a 33-year-old Christian recording artist, podcaster, and pastor of "Refuge Church" in Ogden, Utah. Like Webbon, Sauvé wasn’t always reformed —Refuge began as a charismatic Christian church. After the lead pastor resigned in a scandal, the then-24-year-old Sauvé ascended to take his place, immersed himself in reformed theology, and moved the church in a new direction. Today, he presides over a Moscow-esque ecosystem: a publishing house called "New Christendom Press", as well as "St. Brendan’s Classical Christian Academy", modeled after those in Wilson’s network. “Can you feel it in the sails?” reads St. Brendan’s website. “The stiff breeze out of Moscow, Idaho? -- We can.”On his three podcasts and to his more than 53,000 followers on X, Sauvé regularly states that women’s primary function is to bear children. In July, after Vance’s comments about “childless cat ladies who are miserable” began widely circulating, he posted: “It is desperately sad to think of all the intentionally barren women who will find themselves totally alone in their 50s, realizing their irreversible mistake. They will wish they could trade it all —money, vacations, independence, all of it —for children they can now never have.”But unlike more mainstream conservatives, Sauvé does not even pretend to champion the idea of a Judeo-Christian nation. He posted in July, “[O]ur political system is heavily influenced by Jews who reject Christ and embrace all manner of evils.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mefferd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow

Chuck DarwinIn subsequent videos, Douglas Wilson tackled women’s culpability in rape, the dark side of empathy, and the virtues of “something called the patriarchy —that which, according to our soi-disant and lisping political theorists, must be smashed... Only they say something like ‘thmasth.’”Wilson has used his platforms to anoint the next generation of ultraconservative reformed Christian pastors, all of whom happened to be men. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Mefferd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mefferd</a>, the conservative Christian journalist, told me that Wolfe’s "The Case for Christian Nationalism" got traction in mainstream Christian circles in part “because Doug Wilson endorsed.” Another Wilson protégé is <a href="https://c.im/tags/Joel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Joel</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Webbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Webbon</a>, a 38-year-old pastor who hosts a podcast and YouTube show, which he films from a wingback leather chair in a book-lined room.Webbon wasn’t always reformed — he is an alumnus of a Bible school run by a New Apostolic Reformation affiliated outfit, — which he now considers “straight-up heretical.” In his 20s, he broke from the group, moved to Texas, and started his own church. In a video from a few years ago, Webbon credited Wilson with emboldening him to say whatever he wanted —like telling a guest that the Founding Fathers weren’t responsible for the slave trade because Africans had done the actual kidnapping and enslaving.For Webbon, it was intensely liberating to watch Wilson speak in public without worrying about being canceled. “You stay in your little corner, you stay on your little leash, because you’re like, I don’t know what will happen,” Webbon said. “But when you see some other guy do it, and you’re like —that’s the worst thing that can happen? Vice writes an article about you? [Christianity Today editor-in-chief] Russell Moore won’t invite you to his birthday party anymore? Like, that’s it.” At a recent conference, he registered dismay over immigrants in his community. “It’s like full, straight-up Hindu garb at our neighborhood swimming pool, that my daughter is asking [about and] I’m trying to explain.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/dominant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dominant</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/man"

Chuck DarwinDouglas Wilson's influence over Moscow Idaho has not been without controversy. In a 2021 Vice exposé, former members of "Christ Church" alleged that ministers had encouraged them to stay in abusive relationships. That tracks with Wilson’s 1999 book, "Fidelity: How to Be a One-Woman Man", in which he wrote, “The sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party. A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants. A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.” For that reason, Wilson wrote, the dynamic of a <a href="https://c.im/tags/dominant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dominant</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/man" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#man</a> and a <a href="https://c.im/tags/submissive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#submissive</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/woman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#woman</a> is “an erotic necessity.” (Wilson called allegations of the church urging women to stay in abusive relationships “categorically false.”)Wilson has also promoted another form of dominance. In the 1996 book "Southern Slavery: As It Was", Wilson and his co-author argued that the master-slave dynamic was “a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence,” -- and “there has never been a multi-racial society which has existed with such mutual intimacy and harmony in the history of the world” as that of the antebellum South. (In a 2020 blog post, Wilson said he now allows that while “the benevolent master is not a myth, the idea of the horrific taskmaster is no abolitionist myth either.”) When I asked Wilson about his controversial statements, he likened himself to a chef who strategically deploys jalapeno peppers: “Then some of my enemies online have combed through my writings, have gathered up all the jalapenos and put them on one Ritz cracker.”In July, at the "National Conservatism Conference" in Washington, DC, Wilson shared the stage with Sens. Josh <a href="https://c.im/tags/Hawley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hawley</a> (R-Mo.), Ron <a href="https://c.im/tags/Johnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Johnson</a> (R-Wis.), and Mike <a href="https://c.im/tags/Lee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lee</a> (R-Utah), as well as <a href="https://c.im/tags/Vance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Vance</a>, who auditioned his “America is a people” bit a week before his star turn at the GOP convention. Wilson agrees with Vance’s suggestion that children should be allotted votes -- managed by their parents. “I would like to see elections where households vote,” he told me. Men, as the heads of households, would actually cast the votes. Though he believes that women’s suffrage was “a mistake,” he would allow a special exception for single mothers.Wilson offered the crowd a few one-liners (“I’m a Presbyterian, not a Lesbyterian”), but mostly, he talked about the persecution of Christians: “It used to be that the sexually troubled had to keep their kinks hidden away in the closet,” he mused. “Now it is the conservative Christian who needs to keep his virtues hidden in the recesses of the closet.” After the "National Conservatism Conference", Wilson appeared at the "Believers’ Summit", which was headlined by <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> and hosted by the conservative political group <a href="https://c.im/tags/Turning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Turning</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Point" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Point</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a>.But it’s not just conferences and interviews with the likes of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Tucker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tucker</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Carlson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Carlson</a> where Wilson promotes his ideas. He has a blog, a podcast, and a YouTube channel, thanks mostly to the urging of his children and younger colleagues. One example is that every year since 2018, Wilson has been celebrating what he calls No Quarter November: “The month where we say out loud what everyone is thinking.” In a 2023 video, which was the brainchild of one of his sons, Wilson sits at a sumptuously appointed Thanksgiving table, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, and addresses the camera. “If you think of my blog as a shotgun,” he says, “this is the month when I saw off all my typical, careful qualifications and blast away with a double-barreled shorty.” His wife, clad in an apron, brings out a turkey and places it in front of him, and then the tranquil scene is interrupted by a blaring alarm and a glowing red “perimeter breach” sign. Wilson excuses himself, heads to his garage, and straps on a <a href="https://c.im/tags/flamethrower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flamethrower</a>. After using it to light a cigar, he aims the fire at cardboard cutouts of Disney princesses Elsa and Ariel, and the logos of Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Netflix.Wilson’s willingness to make campy content sets him apart, says Rachel Tabachnick, an extremism researcher who has been studying Christian nationalism for decades. “Instead of a crotchety old guy talking about stoning people, he’s like, super cool,” she says. “He’s witty.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Douglas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Douglas</a> <a

Chuck DarwinLike all self-respecting millennials, the TheoBros have little tolerance for boomers, with the exception of their patriarch, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Douglas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Douglas</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Wilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wilson</a>, a 71-year-old pastor in Moscow, Idaho. When he was younger, Wilson imagined himself going into the family business —Christian bookstores —but after a stint in the military, he moved to Moscow in 1975 to study philosophy at the University of Idaho, where he became involved with the "Jesus People", a kind of mashup of evangelical and hippie culture. He helped found "Christ Church", the congregation over which he still presides and that regularly draws crowds of 1,300.Wilson has since turned the college town into his own Christian kingdom. He helped found "New Saint Andrews College", the "Canon Press" publishing house, and "Logos School", one of the nation’s first classical Christian schools, where students exclusively study the Western canon. Wilson embraced <a href="https://c.im/tags/Calvinism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Calvinism</a> in 1988 and remade his church from the freewheeling "Jesus People" hub into something far more sober and buttoned-up, where women couldn’t be church leaders and the only music allowed was hymns and psalms. In the early 1990s, Wilson helped launch the "Association of Classical Christian Schools", which had 502 member institutions across the United States as of March 2023. <a

Donald Roy<a href="https://zirk.us/@ChrisMayLA6" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ChrisMayLA6</a>There was a period - a few months on both sides of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ukgeneralelection2001" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ukgeneralelection2001</a> - when <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/newlabour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newlabour</a> did look as if it was metamorphosing into a recognisable centre-left government - along the lines of those headed by <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/attlee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#attlee</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wilson</a> . However the events of 11th September 2001 provided an opportunity for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/blairite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blairite</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ultras" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ultras</a> to stop this process in its tracks and indeed reverse it to some extent. We have yet to see which part of the story will repeat itself.

Pam CGot a few minutes to going to have a go at a new <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> post (may be subject to editing or change later). Not new to Mastodon, just to this instance.I'm Pam, nearly 64 (at time of writing), from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Crumpsall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crumpsall</a> (wiki it) Area of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Manchester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Manchester</a>. I like to talk <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activism</a> . Sometimes I'm controversial, sometimes not. I'm old school lefty. Ie not far left, and not on the right where some pretend to be on the left. I'm probably round about Clement <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Attlee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Attlee</a> or Harold <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wilson</a> or Jeremy <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corbyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Corbyn</a> on the real centre left but on certain issues it's variable.I support <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LGBT</a>+ issues and like to educate and inform if I know what I'm talking about, or give opinions if I don't know as much as I think I do.Love Music, but my favourite genres is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rock</a> of all types except Metal and Thrash, particularly from the 1950s to the early 1980s. Favourite Radio Stations are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioCarolineFlashback" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RadioCarolineFlashback</a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BoomRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoomRadio</a> with a little <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MagicAtTheMusicals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MagicAtTheMusicals</a> I'm an atheist so will challenge godbotherers from time to time.Tend to stand with the underdogs.Interested in lots of things beside.

And even amongst those who like the idea of nationalisation some proportion - I'd say significant - do not want their taxes to rise to pay for it & voted accordingly<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Wilson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wilson</a> & <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Blair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blair</a> did not get elected 3 times each by trying to recreate the 45-48 government
