The Institute for Religion, Culture, and Public Life presents the Populism and Religion lecture series from Theda Skocpol (Professor of Government and Sociology at Harvard University).
Note from Jean Cohen, project organizer:
Everyone seems to be writing on populism these days, which is unsurprising given the global rise of populist movements, parties, and leaders. But the relationship of populism to religion remains understudied. In response, IRCPL has organized a three-part speaker series on Populism and Religion. With this series, we aim to illuminate the broad yet distinctive nature of populism(s) by analyzing their region-specific histories, the religious posturing of populist groups on both sides of the political spectrum, and the unique rhetorics used by populist movements to appeal to the general public.
Man 2 HELLLL with all that Republican Lite NONSENSE!!!
WE ARE DONE ASKING POLITELY for our rights or FOR WHAT WE WANT!!! We’ve been waiting too damn long for OUR GOVERNMENT TO WORK FOR US AGAIN & ‘backing away” but in a “Progressive direction” ?!? NO!!! That ‘Centrist’ JUNK is going to end! #Medicare4All is EXTREMELY POPULAR, @ almost 70% last I looked, same for ending federal & state Marijuana prohibition, ENDING THE WARS, EXPANDING social security, $15 Min Wage (or a MAX WAGE for that matter!), TAXING corporations their fair share, GETTING $$ OUT OF POLITICS, OVERTURNING CITIZENS UNITED, a green new ‘new deal’,Criminal Justice Reform, ending cash bail, etc!!!
SO WHAT DEMS NEED TO DO IS START ACTUALLY DOING AS THEY PREACH & BACKING & VOTING FOR THESE POLICIES WE WANT, ACTUALLY DOING AS THEY SAY AND SAY AS THEY DO! DROP THE CORPORATE DEMS & Republicans MASQUERADING AS DEMS!!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU, ONLY BIG DONOR $$$!!! GET OUT IN THE STREETS, ACTUALLY PUTTING OUT THE NARRATIVE INSTEAD OF WAITING TO BE ON THE DEFENSE OF REPUBLICAN FALSE PROPAGANDA AND LIES, STICK TO YOUR GUNS!!! QUIT ROLLING OVER W/O A FIGHT AFTER A LOT OF HARD DAMN TALK!!! (Chuck Schumer, “Sparticus” Booker, Kamala Harris, ETC)
The People are tired of the bullshit, They want LEADERS WHO ARE PASSIONATE, that WORK AS HARD AS THEY DO & R WILLING 2 FIGHT for what us working class need & deserve!!! And the ones who don’t get with it, are going to get buried.
