Christian v ‘Christian Nationalism’ – Talarico, Warnock & author April Ajoy
April Ajoy joined The Ron Show Monday.
PLUS: Thurmond’s endorsement gets: plums or prunes? Also, Keisha’s list was … something to see & Esteves’ list is long.

Coming off a third – and impressive – ‘No Kings Day’ weekend, it was in listening to (marveling at) Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock deliver a “no notes” speech in Atlanta Saturday that somehow aligned well against the faux religiosity on display at CPAC on the same weekend. The emergence of James Talarico in Texas has Christian nationalism freaking out like “The Wizard” once the curtain was pulled back.
Which brings me to my guest today: April Ajoy, author (Star-Spangled Jesus: Leaving Christian Nationalism and Finding a True Faith), content creator, influencer, and ex-Christian nationalist, joined me to share her exodus from right wing evangelism, which began about the time Trump descended down the golden escalator.

IN the second half of the show (44:35) Mike Thurmond’s two “gets” – former governor Roy Barnes & former Atlanta mayor & UN ambassador Andrew Young – got a lot of media & social media coverage over the weekend, but are they significant? Also, who on Keisha Lance Bottoms’ campaign staff let public her endorsement page in a completely unfinished template form? Jason Esteves, meanwhile, has a substantial list of Democratic state legislators. Of course, Geoff Duncan got press for picking up prominent Black male nods, too.

A WSB-TV story focusing on the north Atlanta v south Atlanta economic divide isn’t just an “Atlanta story;” it’s playing out in cities of any substantial size just about everywhere in the U.S. Thought I’d chew on it a bit.

A ‘No Kings Day’ walk-off in Macon concerns me. Sure, a local sheriff was allowed to speak and his department works in coordination with ICE, but A) that’s mandated by state law and B) he came to NKD/Macon looking to engage, so shouldn’t we?

It seems pretty clear MAGA has lost Joe Rogan. Joe zeroed in on the war / Wall Street grift.

Back under the Gold Dome, the ‘zombie bill’ Senator Greg Dolezal crafted to put onerous burdens on local elections officials and pursue hand-marked paper ballots by fall passed the Senate and now sits in the House. What’ll happen to it, there, I wonder?
