Rabbi Andy Kahn @rabbiandykahn.com · 28/09/2026This episode got quickly passed over last year. Carlson’s Fuentes episode, the timing around the Kirk assassination, and the rightwing anti-Israel turn, all signs of a schism on the right, has yet to be fully grappled with. Its impact on 2028 is going to be massive, and the left can capitalize. 010

Rabbi Andy Kahn @rabbiandykahn.com · 27/09/2026So I think this is illustrative of religion in America being used as a tool of cultural enforcement. The experience he had (alienation) is the point. Religion itself is not the problem- religion is weaponized as part of the arsenal of hegemonic cultural policing to signal fealty and membership. 130
