Progressives marginalize conservative, traditional Christians, and other dissenters. Technology and consumerism hastens the possibility of a corporate surveillance state. And the pandemic, having put millions out of work, leaves our country especially vulnerable to demagogic manipulation. Dreher draws on the wisdom of...

In What's the Matter with Kansas?, Thomas Frank pointed out that many people actually vote against their own interests. Here, linguist Lakoff explains why. Human beings are not rational creatures.

We form particular kinds of narratives in our minds just like we form specific muscle memories such as typing or dancing,...
