Summary

Brad and Dan begin this MLK weekend show by going over the outlines of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the Selma marches, and King’s missives to White moderates. They link this to the current fight for voting rights and the misugided logic of Senator Synema, who continues to stand in the way of new voting rights legislation. They then transition to new scholarship that shows White Christian nationalists are on the whole in favor of making it harder to vote and are unwilling to admit that voter suppression is a factor in American politics. The show ends with reflections on the sedition charges against a number of Oath Keepers–and the Christian nationalist logic they use to defend their traitorous actions. In a bonus segment, Brad and Dan discuss the NFL MVP race as a referendum on White identity politics.

Welcome to Straight Wide American Jesus.

0:20.9

My name is Brad O'Neishie, faculty at the University of San Francisco.

0:24.4

I'm Shosu and partnership with the Cap Center, UCSB.

0:27.5

And I'm here today with my go host.

0:30.0

I'm Dan Miller, associate professor of religion and social thought at Lamar College.

0:34.0

It's good to see you Brad on one coast where it's significantly warmer than here today.

0:40.0

And I'm sure that this saddens you greatly having left Central New York to be in much warmer places.

0:46.5

It does not.

0:47.5

And I know you love the winter, which as I've said before, makes me not trust you sometimes.

0:53.5

But you know, that's a whole other thing in our friendship that we have to work through.

0:57.5

Hey, Dan, before we get going, I want to talk about another podcast.

1:02.0

We don't do this very often, but I want to give a shout out to uneffing the Republic.

1:07.5

That is the safe for work, you know, pronunciation.

1:11.5

So just so you all know.

1:13.0

But uneffing the Republic, UNFTR is a podcast about politics, economics, socio-economic issues, and so on.

1:24.0

It's pretty loose, maybe a little looser than ours, Dan, healthy dose of profanity.

1:29.0

And they just use a lot of the things we use, thorough research and humor to kind of dig into big topics.

1:38.5

They also just have really sharp production, right?

1:41.0

And you know, Dan, we do our show three times a week and it kind of prevents us from a lot of sound design and other sorts of things.

1:48.0

But their production is top notch and it's actually something I'm pretty jealous of.
