Grim is a deep 'public thinker' who is not enamored of the David French school of....ummmnhh...'thinking.'
I'm not much impressed with David French lately; his criticism of Kyle Rittenhouse showed that he doesn't understand citizenship, let alone heroism. In his latest piece, though, he raises a reasonable point: his sort did fairly well during the Cold War, in contests with the Soviets, and advanced the ball to some degree for a time during the Reagan era in other ways as well.
Sadly, he then departs into a criticism of toughness as a masculine virtue. Worse, he decides to fight it from the (friendly to Atlantic readers) ground of criticizing Donald Trump. This is a sideshow; the discussion that is worth having is whether or not the elite approach to conflict with the left is still capable of advancing any balls, or indeed if it has any to advance.

The indomitable Megan Basham has reported on
The After Party, a forthcoming program led by Duke Divinity consulting professor Curtis Chang and developed with New York Times columnist David French and Christianity Today editor in chief Russell Moore. The program offers pastors and small groups a curriculum “reframing Christian political identity from today’s divisive partisan options.”
Basham wondered who would be willing to fund such a pricey initiative, and after some sleuthing discovered the people paying for and shaping The After Party’s message. These sponsors include the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, which also funds pro-abortion and gay activist groups; and the One America Movement, whose board includes
the leader of an LGBTQ-affirming synagogue, as well as a co-founder of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York who excuses rioting as self-defense and has called Jesus a ‘black radical revolutionary.’
Financial sponsors of One America itself include
the Tides Foundation, the Hewlett Foundation, the Walton family’s Catena Foundation, and the John Pritzker Family Fund — all of which fund enterprises promoting abortion, LGBTQ issues, and other left-wing priorities.
But here’s the cherry on top of the Kool Whip that crowns this sewage cake. According to Basham’s research: “The Hewlett Foundation, which also directly funds The After Party, is the second largest private donor to Planned Parenthood.”
So if you were wondering what kind of Christians are warning everyone about the dangers of “Christian Nationalism,” now you have your answer: the kind that Planned Parenthood donors like to fund.
