Summary
Katherine Stewart’s book, Money, Lies and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy, warns of a coordinated right-wing movement aiming to dismantle U.S. democracy.
This movement, comprising Christian nationalists, billionaire oligarchs, and conservative ideologues, aims to dismantle pluralistic democracy and establish a theocratic system.
Stewart highlights its deep organization, financial backing, and strategic voter mobilization, contrasting it with less coordinated pro-democracy efforts.
The only reason I still think they will inevitably fail (although not without a heavy cost to the public) is because of how many different factions there are. Currently they are united by a common hate of liberalism, but if they manage to defeat it they will inevitably turn on each other.
No matter how I slice this I strongly feel that all roads leads to a civil war and a fracturing of the federation.
