@ifpg.bsky.social seeks to understand & address foundational challenges facing our country. Robert P. Jones of PPRI has done a magnificent job in "Backslide: Reclaiming a Faith and a Nation After the Christian Turn Against Democracy" explaining the Christian Right & Christian nationalism's impact.

I spoke with @tiffanymuller.bsky.social on @endcitizensunited.bsky.social's survey of likely 2026 battleground voters. Independents were highly persuadable on anti-corruption messaging, shifting 15 points toward Democrats (52-37), while traditional Democratic messaging left them evenly split (45-45)

An @endcitizensunited.bsky.social survey shows that 53% of voters want Congress to make reducing corruption a “very big priority.” Yet, many believe Republicans — even when they disagree on policy — represent change, while Democrats are seen as defending the system.

Over the past year, PSG Consulting’s #FirstMondaysWebinar series on narratives brought together diverse voices to ask a shared question: How do we create narratives that strengthen our democracy? One thing became clear — we won’t rebuild America without stories rooted in everyday lived experiences.

I spoke with @tiffanymuller.bsky.social, President of @endcitizensunited.bsky.social, about its new survey of likely 2026 voters in battleground districts. The findings are striking: 80% of voters believe we need either to completely rebuild the system or make big, big changes.

The biggest story isn’t how much money is being spent — it’s where & how it’s being deployed across competitive races, TV, streaming & social media. This is what we uncover in Need to Know: Who's in Your Media Market newsletter: whosinyourmediamarket.substack.com/p/growth-and... What we're seeing 👇

PSG Consulting’s latest webinar explores research with @hartresearch.bsky.social on othering — the dehumanization of groups of people based on who they are. Othering is a driver of authoritarian ambition and success, and it’s now being framed in the context of American patriotism & protectionism.

Why do “us vs. them” narratives work so well — and how do we push back without playing “whack a mole?” During Monday's #FirstMondaysWebinar, we explored new research on “othering” — one of the Right’s most powerful strategies for pitting Americans against each other and gaining power.

For good reason, the Big Betrayal Bill isn't supported by the majority of Americans. Historic cuts to Medicaid & SNAP will leave millions without basic necessities. And now, many of those who stand to gain the most from the bill oppose it. ⬇️ www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Too often, when we talk about shifting culture, we think in terms of single-issue campaigns. But real change demands a deeper strategy — one grounded in the values and narratives shaping who we are and how we see one another. ⬇️
