"The leaked messages Politico uncovered recently expose a new generation of conservatives who have traded that legacy for something darker—something rotten to its core."

From Buckley to MAGA: The moral decay of the Republican Party Leaked Young Republican chats glorifying Hitler and violence expose a movement that’s lost its moral compass and abandoned true conservatism. By BILL BRITT OPINION Then came the casual confession—“I love Hitler”—punctuated with a smiling emoji. Others mocked rape and slavery, called Black Americans “watermelon people,” and told one another, “Stay in the closet f—-t.” These are not just words; they are examples of consciences seared with a hot iron—young men so morally cauterized that cruelty feels like courage.

"Alabama has a habit of tapping sports to find political leaders. It would just be nice if they brought lessons from sports with them."
Sports figures in politics is fine if they bring sports’ lessons with them Alabama has a habit of tapping sports to find political leaders. It would just be nice if they brought lessons from sports with them. JOSH MOON OPINION It’s just odd to me that we in Alabama continue to delve into the world of sports to find our political leaders—because, I suppose, sports is the one thing we do well around here, so we idolize those successful sports figures more than we should—and yet, we seem unable to grasp the reasons why we’re so successful in sports and then apply those things to governance.

We the people face a tipping point—resistance is the only way forward From suffragists to today’s Christian nationalists, history warns that rights vanish without action. The fight for democracy is now. BILL BRITT If we fail, the future will not remember us as the generation that defended the Republic. It will remember us as the ones who looked away—until the ballot was gone, the voice was silenced, and the door to our own freedom closed behind us.
