Gaining Our Bearings in a New Landscape - 1

How did we get here and actually, where the heck are we? The landscape of America and the world has shifted so dramatically in the past year that it is quite normal to feel lost, disoriented.  The thing to do when lost is to locate one's bearings.  I am hoping in the coming days to highlight articles, ideas, and conversations that help us locate where we are and how we got here.

The first article (unfortunately titled in my opinion) by Jacob Siegel recounts the ascendancy and demise of paleo-conservativism and its resurrection into the alt-right through the life and work of Paul Gottfried.  The thing I would highlight as someone who is distinctly an anti-racist is how thoroughly these words from the Apostle Paul are now under attack in the heart of the levers of power: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
