I see a lot of this from the CN bros. “They” took some mythical past from you. The thing is, I’m also reading a history of Chicago. And let me tell you, a lot of folks were saying the same thing 150 years ago. Destabilizing, innovating change is fundamentally American.

Webbon's a goober, but he knows the Trump train has run out of steam. I'm guessing we'll see more of this in the next year.
NGL, these kinds of statements drive me bonkers. It's the scholarly equivalent of saying "you know, people say..." It's just plumb lazy, and more about the author's priors than any data-driven conclusion.
What is the Christian nationalist store up to these days? Yes, these are real.

Been doing some digging on cannabis usage for a thing, and found these charts interesting. From the GSS:
