Didn't trump say something in a rally to the christian nationalists that they won't have to choose anymore. I guess he was thinking of Mikey. Mikey hates to have free choice that why he put all his decisions in trumps hands. Which he deems is the same as gods hands. That stuff he said about Biden was pure projection of his god trumps actions. These guys have zero self awareness! Of course Mikey knows that trump is the money god so he "chose" to obey for a price. They are all a bunch of hypocrites leaning on so-called religion when it suits them and on the devils playing cards when it doesn't. If trump goes down in flames they'll all say we were only following orders. Philosophically, I guess they were.
Wow. You’re now delving into faith and philosophy. Great, thought-provoking essay. Your depth and breadth of analysis of our current situation in America is unsurpassed. Thanks for your research and insights.
That was a wonderful read; our ability to recognize truth and possess empathy is a testament to our collective humanity. Some have it in spades, and some don't and herein lies the problem.
Wowza, brought me back to Philosophy 101 with Kierkegaard! I just think you’re giving moses mikie too much credit. His only faith is in the almighty dollar 🤬 he’s a conman through and through imho
I really enjoyed this read, your article on faith, both good and bad. It took me back to when I was about six or seven years old and was kicked out of my first and only Sunday school class. Why? Because I asked the Sunday school teacher, "What is faith?" one too many times.
Out here, turning existentialism into a full-contact sport, and honestly, it’s about damn time. America isn’t just in political crisis; we’re in meaning collapse. Mike Johnson is the poster child for bad faith, a man so allergic to self-examination that he outsourced his conscience to a sky daddy and a felon. Sartre warned us about this: the “waiter who believes he is his job.” Johnson believes he is God’s intern, and democracy is just a paperwork error he’s correcting on behalf of Jesus and Trump.
This piece nails the quiet horror of it all, that authoritarianism is the easiest cure for existential anxiety. Don’t like the chaos of freedom? Let someone else choose for you. Put on your “TRUMP 2028” hat and call obedience morality. It’s fascism with a faith-based fragrance.
Radical good faith, then, isn’t some kumbaya philosophy; it’s a survival manual. It means refusing to surrender your agency to cults, corporations, or theocratic cosplay. It means choosing, fiercely, to act with integrity in a system built on deceit.
In an age of bad faith algorithms, radical good faith is rebellion.

Brilliant! And you taught me so much about philosophers whose names I knew but never studied. Thanks!
I gasped when I read the quote from Johnson where he attributes the structure of the current administration to its predecessor. Truly bad faith.
