Benny Johnson: "This pope was woke by every measure that I could see"

“If you look at the legacy, this pope was big time open borders, big time climate change, and quite liberal, I think, as popes go.”

The Jesuits don't match all of our politics but they're far less awful than the alternative.

Study: bigots who hate one marginalized group increasingly hate all of them

One app, 60 men, 26 dates: my adventures in alt-right dating

Jared's eyes became erratic — completely different from the eyes of the man I'd sat down with at the beginning of the night. "If we lived in a different time, we would be hanging white liberal ****es in the town square and dragging them through the streets for the lies they spread," he roared. My immediate reaction was an attempt to de-escalate the situation.

"Let's take a deep breath," I suggested. I took one, then he took one, and we repeated it. He reset. Later, though, when I had my hand on the table, he grabbed my wrist and started ranting again about how liberal white women create witch hunts.

"They say horrible things about me and make everyone hate me and think I'm a bad person," he said. He was staring at a point in the distance, speaking like he was in some kind of trance.

"What did they say about you?" I asked.

He snapped out of it. "Oh, not me," he answered. "I meant Donald Trump."
