Political scientist #MarcFroese says this framing is key to understanding the movement's appeal in Alberta.
He argues that many don't fully grasp that #CharlieKirk was "an essential bridge between #evangelicalism and the #PoliticalRight," positioning himself as a cultural & spiritual leader.

"Love how people talk about ‘political differences’ as though they're about whether people should be allowed to have pink flamingos on their lawn and not about advocating for the subjugation/elimination of entire communities of people, who are expected to respond with ‘respectful dialogue’."

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis.
But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right.
By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵

Yet the catastrophic #stupidity of current #U.S.policy shouldn’t be attributed purely to Trump’s personal unfitness to lead. Willful #ignorance and rejection of expert advice have characterized the #U.S. #politicalright for many years.” open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

A frightening thing about the #PoliticalRight is the baffling success of its utter #incompetence. #Trumpism is the tip of the iceberg.
I am used to it being dishonest, but I don't know if #conservatism has ever been so stupid.
