Christian nationalists try to Santa Clause the obvious 1st amendment violation.Vivek Ramaswamy, a GOP candidate for Ohio governor has accepted donations from a notorious Nazi reenactor with ties to Northwestern Ohio. We look at the deeply rooted biases evident within the Republican Party and their reactions to his ethnic background and the efforts to paper over that divide with more voter suppression tactics that are prevalent in the party’s strategy to steal elections.Finally, we examine the lasting impact of misogyny within the atheist and free-thought communities, featuring insights from Rebecca Watson, who finds herself named in the Epstein files. Her story sheds light on the resilience against systemic misogyny and the backlash faced by outspoken women in these predominantly male-dominated spaces. The culture of silence surrounding figures like Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins, who have been accused of inappropriate behavior, is examined critically as we double down on the importance of accountability in our movement.Atheism and freethought needs to remain free from individuals who engage in abusive behavior, whether they are a big name or not. By discussing our experiences with problematic figures within the community, we emphasize the necessity of continuing to establish a safe and inclusive environment for everyone.Full show notes & links usedSend a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon
