Kash Patel is engaged in purges, removal of real accountability, and impunity for loyalists at the FBI.
Researchers told me that these are the exact patterns that create abusive national security organizations under authoritarianism. 🧵

What is really going on in this society that elected Donald Trump president a second time?
 
I wrote about three stubborn myths about Trump’s support – and why America has experienced a de-alignment rather than a rightward realignment.
 
My new piece for @zeit.de – and some thoughts in English:
Unterstützung von Donald Trump: Die Irrtümer über Donald Trumps Rückhalt
Rechtsruck, multiethnische Koalition, Held einfacher Leute: Trump gilt als fest verankert. Doch diese Überzeugung beruht auf drei großen Missverständnissen.

Die Zeit porträtiert eine „Whites Only“ Siedlung in Arkansas samt schicker Fotostrecke, und schreibt dazu in den Insta-Slides über den Gründer, einen Antisemiten und White Supremacist Überschriften wie „Orwoll, ein Rassist?“ (Sein Projekt wird auch von einem australischen Neo-Nazi unterstützt).
Zeit Screenshot: „Orwoll, der Rassist? Er, der diese Siedlung nur für Weiße aufbaut, sagt, er würde sich nicht damit befassen, wenn Menschen ihn als Rassisten beschreiben würden. Eher erzählt er von Nachrichten, die er bekommt, in denen Leute schreiben, dass er wenigstens ehrlich sei.“ Mein Kommentar: „Ist der Mann, der einen weißen Ethnostaat will, ein Rassist, fragt man sich nachdenklich bei der Zeit.“ Screenshot X Orwoll: @Aarvoll_ „David Duke nearly became governor of Louisiana in 1991, garnering more than a half million votes.

The year is currently 2025 and we are in America. Draw your own conclusions.“ Screenshot X: @Aarvoll „The term "Aryan" as an ethnonym wasn't unique to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European peoples. It comes from the PIE root *áryas, which meant "noble", and was probably used as an autonym, in some form, by Pontic Steppe derived aristocracies all over Eurasia. It's a controvertial subject and modern etymologists will deny it, but the Proto-Germanic "Abala", the Irish "Éire" and the Greek "Aristos", all meaning "noble", are probably all related to the PIE "*áryas". It was a word that referred to a single ethnic ruling caste that dominated many societies, it basically meant the same as the modern European concept of aristocracy (most European aristocratic lines descend from Germanic equestrian conquerers).

🚨 New article out!

“Right-Wing Terror, Media Backlash, and Voting Preferences for the Far Right” in @bjpols.bsky.social

👉 doi.org/10.1017/S000...

We (Alex De Juan, @juvoss.bsky.social & I) examine how right-wing attacks shape support for the far-right in Germany.

Short summary thread below 👇
Abstract for the article: How does right-wing terrorism affect electoral support for populist radical right parties (PRRPs)? Recent research has produced contrary answers to this question. We argue that only high-intensity attacks, whose motives and targets mirror PRRPs’ nativist agenda, are likely to generate a media backlash that dampens electoral support for PRRPs. We test this argument by combining high-frequency survey and social media data with a natural and survey experimental design. We find that right-wing terror reduced support for the radical right party Alternative für Deutschland after one of the most intense nativist attacks in recent German history. An analysis of all ninety-eight fatal right-wing attacks in Germany between 1990 and 2020 supports our argument. Our findings contribute to an understanding of how political violence triggers partisan detachment and have important implications for media responsibility in the aftermath of terrorist attacks.

ICYMI yesterday:

I wrote about Ezra Klein, Ta-Nehisi Coates, the struggle to define the boundaries of what is acceptable in America – and why democratic citizens have an obligation to hold the line on what we consider beyond the pale.

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

I had an extended conversation with the FAZ podcast (in German) - about Christian nationalism as the defining political identity on the American Right, about ideology and religion in Trumpism, and about why MAGA is at war with the very idea of pluralistic democracy.

Really enjoyed this one:

I wrote about why we left America
 
I am starting my new life as a full-time writer focused on U.S. history and politics right after we left the United States. Life and work in America felt increasingly untenable for us.

We were in the privileged position to have the choice to leave.
Onward. Forward. Steady.
Things have really changed. Now I need your help.
