Kidder1 & Amy J. Binder 2 Published online: 1 February 2020 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract In this paper, we report data from interviews with members of conservative political clubs at four flagship public universities. First, we categorize these students into three analytically distinct orientations regarding Donald Trump and his presidency (or what we call Trumpism). There are principled rejecters, true believers, and satisficed partisans. We argue that Trumpism is a disunifying symbol in our respondents’ self- narratives. Specifically, right-leaning collegians use Trumpism to draw distinctions over the appropriate meaning of conservatism. Second, we show how political clubs sort and shape orientations to Trumpism. As such, our work reveals how student-led groups can play a significant role in making different political discourses available on campuses and shaping the types of activism pursued by club members—both of which have potentially serious implications for the content and character of American democracy moving forward. Keywords Americanpolitics.Conservatism.Culture.Highereducation.Identity.Organizations Introduction Donald Trump, first as a candidate and now as the president, has been an exceptionally divisive force in American politics, even among conservatives who typically vote Republican.

  • 1 Commencement Address Augustana College May 23, 2004 Chairman Bradley A. Smith Thank You. As I Thought About What I Might Say T
    Commencement Address Augustana College May 23, 2004 Chairman Bradley A. Smith Thank you. As I thought about what I might say to the Augustana College class of 2004, it occurred to me that a good percentage of you would have been born in 1982. 1982, as it happens, is the year that the situation comedy “Family Ties” debuted on television, starring Michael J. Fox as Alex P. Keaton. And I recalled an early episode of that show, in which the father was packing a school lunch for Alex’s younger sister. As he packed a piece of fruit, Alex, who had been observing the process, noted, “You don’t need to put that in there.” “Oh?” said the Dad. “No. See, we don’t eat the fruit. We eat the cookies, maybe half of the sandwich, but the fruit we just throw away.” “I know that,” replied the Dad. “But as a parent, I’m required to pack it anyway.” I suppose that commencement ceremonies are much the same. You like the parties and gifts and being the center of your families’ attentions; receiving the diploma isn’t bad. The Commencement address? Well, that’s the apple in the lunchbox. But we as educators fill required to provide it anyway. Now, I graduated twenty-four years ago from a school not unlike Augustana – Kalamazoo College. Like Augustana, it is a church affiliated, liberal arts college in a pleasant, mid-sized Midwestern city. I can remember – with some difficulty – who was the commencement speaker at my graduation, but I confess I don’t recall a word of what 1 he said, or even recall him speaking.

  • Candidate Pacs: Follow the Money
    LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF MAINE Candidate PACs: Follow the Money By Ann Luther with the LWVME PAC Study Committee Background The Maine Clean Election Act, passed by citizen initiative in 1996, went into effect in the year 2000 and eliminated large donations to the campaigns of candidates for state office. However, the laws governing political action committees (PACs) were not changed when the Maine Clean Election Act was passed into law. Maine is now one of only fourteen states, and the only one in New England, which has no limits on the amount or source of contributions to PACs. Questions have been raised about the effects of allowing unlimited contributions to PACs that play a role in candidate elections. Do large PAC donors exert undue influence over Maine’s elected officials? Do unlimited contributions to PACs undermine the goals of our publicly funded system? Is there a conflict when publicly funded candidates, who pledge not to accept contributions for their own campaigns, are allowed to raise unlimited funds for PACs which they organize or control? In an effort to answer some of these questions, the League of Women Voters of Maine undertook a comprehensive study of candidate PACs beginning in 2007. This is the fourth in a series of six briefing papers from that study intended to inform League members and the public about the issues involved with candidate PACs. (This and the previous three papers are available at the League of Women Voters of Maine web site at www.lwvme.org .) The portion of the League study presented in this paper examines contributions to and expenditures by candidate PACs in the 2006 general election.

  • Political Transitions in Alaska and the FY 2010 Budget
    Political Transitions in Alaska and the FY 2010 Budget Jerry McBeath University of Alaska Fairbanks INTRODUCTION This report discusses the factors behind the Alaska FY 2010 budget. It treats the Alaska economy in 2008 and 2009, demographic changes, and important movements in state politics, with a special focus on the national rise of one Alaska political leader—Governor Sarah Palin— and the fall of another, Senator Ted Stevens. The 2008 elections brought slight changes in the composition of the state legislature and a large change in the state’s congressional delegation. The report continues a focus on issues affecting Alaska’s future revenue stream—the natural gas pipeline—and its reputation, the state’s predator control policy. The next section of the report introduces the governor’s operating, supplemental, and capital budget requests, their revision and adoption by the legislature. Legislators paid less attention to the expenditure than the revenue side of budgets, and in the short 90-day session wrangled with the governor over federal stimulus funding, and whether it had “strings.” The final section analyzes state revenues and spending planned for FY 2010. THE ALASKA ECONOMY IN 2008 AND 2009 From the start of the state’s fiscal year on July 1, 2008 (FY 09) to the end of the fiscal year, the Alaska economy experienced extreme volatility in oil prices, but because of surplus revenues saved in previous years, Alaska was in better economic shape than most other states. Because the state is primarily dependent on royalties and taxes collected from oil/gas production, we focus on changes in oil prices before considering other resource sectors.

    SENATE JOURNAL ALASKA STATE LEGISLATURE TWENTY-SEVENTH LEGISLATURE SECOND SESSION Juneau, Alaska Friday January 20, 2012 Fourth Day Pursuant to adjournment the Senate was called to order by President Stevens at 11:01 a.m. The roll showed twenty members present. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, The Reverend George Silides of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. With deepest respect for the religious traditions of all Alaskans, I offer this prayer: O God the Creator of the heavens above and the earth beneath, we commend to your Fatherly care all the peoples of this earth, our neighbors near and far; and especially the people of this state and nation. Into this body you have called the people of many tongues and traditions. Some whose cultures are rooted in a relation to this land millennia old, and some who have made this their adopted home. Unite them, we pray in a common vision of the future of this Great Land, where upon every house the same blessings rest, the same opportunities abound, and the same responsibility is shared. Protect with thy heavenly grace all those who serve in the armed forces of our country and keep us ever striving for creative and honorable solutions which 1255 SENATE JOURNAL 1256 January 20, 2012 limit the need for their sacrifice.
