Amid ICE terror and Epstein files in February 2026, my colleague Tripp Fuller asked if I'd write something on reactionaries, evangelicals, and fascism. Draws on critical theology, political philosophy, and psychoanalysis from Wilhelm Reich, Theodor Adorno, Gillian Rose, Louis Althusser, Walter Benjamin, Slavoj Zizek, and Robert Paxton. Builds on some arguments from my 2019 book Against: What Does the White Evangelical Want?
