This article explores how the 2024 Trump campaign routinely employed core tropes of the so-called "great replacement" narrative. In doing so, the article assesses the civic dangers of this strategy.

I ran a Senate simulation last semester using Josh's book and it was an incredible experience. Can't recommend it enough for teaching institutions to students.
Open-ended, multi-week classroom simulations where students participate as equals can be especially beneficial for achieving learning goals.
