I just published a new long-form analysis:
The Second Reconstruction: The Legal, Immoral, and Political Effort to Reverse It — a full breakdown of how the civil-rights gains from 1954–1970 are being reversed today through coordinated legal, political, and institutional power.
To frame the piece, here’s the upstream architecture that explains today’s court rulings, voting restrictions, DEI bans, and demographic panic. This is the lineage that keeps showing up in the research:
• Race-Science Infrastructure (Pioneer Fund, Pearson network)
• New Right Moral-Framing & Messaging Architecture (Thomas F. Ellis)
• CNP as the Strategic Coordination Hub (co-founded by Tim LaHaye; Terry Ellis as New Right bridge)
• Christian Right Legitimacy Engine (Falwell, Dobson, LaHaye, Robertson)
• Legal & Bureaucratic Institutionalization (Heritage, Federalist Society, Project 2025)
• Modern Outputs (replacement theory, anti-immigration systems, Christian nationalism, civil-rights rollbacks)
Once laid out, the pattern becomes clear:
America is replaying the collapse of the First Reconstruction — shrinking the vote, freezing representation, suppressing history, and restoring hierarchy through law.

Open to refinements, pushback, or additional case citations — especially from folks tracking the institutional power side.
