Will Bunch notes that when we're living through an era when the political and religious right shout that men are under attack, it seems odd that "the performatively male officers" of ICE and Homeland Security want to hide their faces as they rough up women and children.

The big strutting men seem afraid, don't they? Afraid to own who they are and what they're doing in public.

"It refers not only to Christian beliefs shared by the many different expressions of Christianity practiced around the country and world, but also to a particular set of social and cultural values. ...

'Traditional' understandings of gender and sexuality are one of the foundational cultural commitments of the particular expression of Christianity inherent to Christian nationalism."

"It includes these things, certainly, but the 'Christian' of Christian nationalism also brings with it what I like to call extra cultural baggage. So when proponents of Christian nationalism say they want to 'make America Christian,' the 'Christian' is doing a lot of heavy lifting."

"A desire for a society marked by traditionalist social hierarchies—primarily organized around gender and sexuality—is a foundational element of Christian nationalism. When I define Christian nationalism, I like to underscore that the 'Christian' of Christian nationalism doesn’t only refer to orthodox Christian teachings like 'Jesus is the Son of God,' or 'Jesus was resurrected on the third day.'”

Of course, #VladimirPutin should be arrested for war crimes.

Still, I differ with my opponent when he says that the Israeli PM, should be arrested and has no place in Romania.

In my opinion, just as Donald #Trump received #Netanyahu and other European states received him and organized state visits, PM Netanyahu’s visit to Bucharest and mine to #TelAviv and Ramallah, in the two states that Romania recognizes and supports at the #UN level, will be possible.

"Using PRRI’s state-level estimates for proportion of the population who at the very least are sympathetic to Christian nationalism, we see a strong positive correlation with the percent who voted for Trump in 2024. ...

There was one particular set of issues that animated much of the Trump campaign leading up to the 2024 election: gender and sexuality."

Gayle's conclusion: Young men believe _ emphasis on "believe" — the world is leaving them behind and the right-wing is poised to scoop them up massaging their grievances.

Andrew Whitehead asks,

"Is Christian nationalism predictive of which states voted for Trump in 2024? Yes, yes it is."

One young man tells Gayle that the sexual revolution promoted hedonism and decay of family, and he's proud to be right-wing to combat that.

Another speaks nostalgically of a dream period in the past — "fifty years ago" — when a man could get what he wanted: a nice woman, a good-paying job, a car.

Another says he has bought into riight-wing politics because social media now makes it possible for him to do so without censure.

Trump arrives in Qatar after hailing meeting with Syria’s ‘young, attractive’ president in Middle East tour

WTF...
Trump praised Ahmad al-Sharaa as a “young, attractive guy” after their meeting, a dramatic turnaround for a former al-Qaeda member for whom America had previously put out a $10 million reward.

#tRump is a traitor. Turns on our allies, and praises our enemies.

The new bill fits into a pattern of democratic backsliding for the Central European country.

"The bill says threats to national sovereignty include influencing #PublicOpinion, promoting #democratic #debate, or challenging state-defined values like #Christian culture & traditional family roles."

What he finds, he says, is that a lot of young men have succumbed to snake-oil promises. Repeatedly, young men — and in one case, a woman supporting right-wing causes, repeat that the problem is women.

Women, women, women. They're at the root of young men's problems.

They've gotten out of their "place." They can now choose to remain single if they wish.

What does family even mean any longer, with women behaving this way?

Minnesota wildfires explode over nearly 20,000 acres as National Guard responds

This may be the year America burns..

After #elons doge cuts to the labor force there will be firefighter shortage.
No one will want to take a chance of getting deported.
In countries that sometimes send us help such as Canada, they will not come because of the way #tRump talks of them. There is also a large immigrant population in Canada and I'm sure they won't want to come either.

"But in the US, where young men got behind Donald Trump in huge numbers, GenZ are actually experiencing more upward mobility than millennials, and a higher rate of growth in living standards than even Baby Boomers had when they were young. So is this something cultural?"

These statements preface a video in which Gayle then travels around England interviewing young men to get perspective about the question he's raising: Is this cultural?

Consultant Matthew Weinberg of ProPharma Group said his firm is fielding more inquiries from #biotech companies about preparing filings with the European Medicines Agency & setting up clinical trials - a shift he attributes to growing concerns about #FDA stability.

"Historically, companies went to the #US first. That may be changing," he said.

"Across the world, the political right is on the rise, and young men are making up a core part of their support. The usual explanation for this is economics, that young men and boys are falling behind in education, young male jobs have borne the brunt of automation."
