Vaya Con Muñoz 7.10.21

In Vaya Con Muñoz

This week on Vaya we are joined by our regulars Kate Albright-Hanna, Tanisha Arena, and Nathaniel Waring to discuss the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and what’s different about this batch of anti-vaxxers; how extremist religion primes people to be taken in by the likes of QAnon; how white Christianity differs from black Christianity, and how the history of white supremacy and colonialism being held up by Christianity effects that difference; what GOP obstructionism is aiming to do, and how the arch of justice is forcing their hands; how the cultural homogenization of white ethnic groups has led to a loss of cultural identity, and how that plays into the QAnon and GOP cult of personality; how the advent of smartphones has changed the way that we hold people accountable, and how social media is working to take that power back away from us; how the erosion of the voting rights act has lead us to republican voters suppression; Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the social media world, and what will come from it; modern lynchings, and whether having a record of them has or hasn’t changed things
