How MAGA borrows from religion - The Economist
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=82859&nl=daily]
In 2015 Lance Wallnau heard a tick-tick-ticking sound in his left ear.
It was the voice of the Holy Spirit, telling him that the 45th chapter
of the Book of Isaiah would reveal the identity of the 45th president.
He consulted the text, which is about Cyrus, a pagan king anointed by
God to rescue Jews from captivity in Babylon. It stood to reason that
the heathen from Queens had been similarly anointed. Before the
election Mr Wallnau published Gods Chaos Candidate, likening Donald
Trump to a divine wrecking ball.

But poker players base that little something on thousands of hands of
experience. There are presidential elections only every four years.
When asked who will win, most people say Mr. Trump because of recency
bias — he won in 2016, when he wasn’t expected to, and then almost
won in 2020 despite being well behind in the polls. But we might not
remember 2012, when Barack Obama not only won but beat his polls.
It’s extremely hard to predict the direction of polling errors.

Opinion | The Debate About the Economy You're Not Getting From the
Election
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=82859&nl=daily]
Our tax code is a Rube Goldberg machine built by an army of lobbyists.
The next president should eliminate loopholes that stack the deck in
favor of the have-plenty. (Hint: Start with the “carried interest”
loophole.) Fund an Internal Revenue Service that ensures everyone
plays by the rules. Congress largely ignores the nearly $2 trillion
given away every year through breaks, loopholes and inefficiencies in
the tax code. That’s where the unfairness and bloat live. Get rid of
those and you can make progress on the deficit.

Why Gender May Be the Defining Issue of the Election
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=82859&nl=daily]
Those who have studied voting patterns for decades say they have never
before seen a presidential race where gender is so central to the
electoral prospects of each candidate — even in 2016, when Hillary
Clinton became the first woman to capture a major party nomination.
They cite a series of factors: Mr. Trump’s well-documented
denigration of women, Ms. Harris’s barrier-breaking potential,
longstanding sexist views about women in power and, perhaps most
centrally, the Supreme Court’s overturning of a constitutional right
to abortion two years ago.
