Some of the major culture war issues of the future are going to be polygamy/polyamory, prostitution/sex work, and “minor-attracted persons.” And these issues are going to be just as contentious on the Left as they are between the Left and Right. Meanwhile, it looks like the abortion wars […]

The contents of this podcast more or less confirm my suspicion that “national conservatism” is just the latest neocon front movement (if more confirmation was needed). The neocon/supply-sider/Reaganite alliance is using “national conservatism” (and its assorted collection of dupes) as a means of making a comeback. It is […]
By Caroline Mimbs Nyce The Atlantic As Congress and the courts pick up the pieces from Donald Trump’s first presidency, the country is already wondering whether it might see a second. The former president is flirting with a 2024 bid—and may have a shot at winning fair and […]
