Does @RepSwalwell believe the Democratic Party has a messaging problem?

Today's Christian Nationalists feel awfully different from yesterday's Moral Majority. @mehdirhasan asks: Are they?
"There's actually not a lot that's different," says investigative reporter @sarahposner. "What has changed is their willingness to say these things out loud."

How did the GOP become so receptive to the QAnon movement? @willsommer says, just look at House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who went from denouncing QAnon, to claiming he doesn’t know what it is, to courting the support of former QAnon booster Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

It may have started with some online messages, but the QAnon conspiracy theory has become a dangerous force causing real violence. In his new book, @willsommer traces QAnon’s quick rise and growing foothold in the Republican party.

Did our nat. sec. agencies miss the threat of right-wing extremism over the last 2 decades, @mehdirhasan asks.
It’s “been a problem for years,” @jamil_n_jaffer says. “There's no doubt that our... agencies need to focus in on the very real threat that domestic issues pose.”

Not only is there a double standard that lets Republicans shrug off right-wing extremism, @milleridriss tells @mehdirhasan there's a "direct through-line" between the xenophobia of the war on terror and "a much broader rage" of hate groups over the last decade.
