These campaign posters dot highways across Istanbul. It reads ‘Syrians will go’ alongside opposition candidate Kemal Kiliçdaroğlu. A Syrian, living here 7yrs, told me, “my children can read those signs it’s impossible for me to hide them.” She says her son is bullied at school.

Embracing extreme positions is nothing new for Donald Trump, but a return to the White House, in Trump’s own articulation, would be his chance to take revenge on his political opponents and push even further on his most polarizing programs.

Watch how the former president’s positions and rhetoric have grown more confrontational and extreme as he seeks a second term.

1. Looks like the TX 10 Commandments bill failed to get a vote before session ended last night, killing it for now. It was one of 3 bills related to public schools decried by critics as Christian nationalist. Only one of them — a chaplains bill — passed.

Bill to Force Texas Public Schools to Display Ten Commandments Fails
A Republican effort to bring religion into classrooms faltered, though lawmakers were poised to allow chaplains to act as school counselors.

This tracks with the rise of Christian nationalism among white evangelicals, which began fusing with anti-vaccine sentiment during the pandemic. There were eventual upticks in vaccine acceptance among WEPs, but the % of vaccine refusers mostly held firm: religionnews.com/2021/09/14/pos

‼️‼️ New Pew poll finds 40% of white evangelicals "say parents should be able to decide not to vaccinate their children, even if that may create health risks for others." Pre-pandemic, only 20% said the same. pewresearch.org/science/2023/0
