Political Triumphalism Is Contrary to the Spirit of Yom Kippur

“You do not need me to tell you that we are living in a political, social, and cultural crisis. I have been saying that for years. Now, I add to that list that we are living in a theological crisis. The MAGA movement seeks to promulgate a triumphalist theology that attempts to determine the truth of America’s past and says that repentance is impossible because doing so would be ‘corrosive’ or ‘disparaging.’ This theology is built on the fundamentalist, extreme myth that it has the absolute truth of who we are as a Christian nation, and thus the only acceptable response is obedience. Yom Kippur is the antidote to this theology.” (10/02/25)
