Is the Lock Box Empty? (Neon Liberalism #82, with Stephen Nuñez)
The American government is an insurance company with an army—so how do our insurance company's finances look?
Samantha and guest Allyson Shortle, professor at the University of Oklahoma, talk about the current state and long history of the movement which forms the hard core of Donald Trump's support: Christian nationalism. Where did this movement begin? How deep are its roots in American myth? What do Christian nationalists believe, and why have they stuck with Trump even as other groups begin to desert him?
Neon Liberalism can be heard on Spotify, on Apple, on YouTube, on Amazon, and elsewhere via its RSS feed.
