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.
Yea, loads of us saw this coming from almost a decade ago. Wtf can be done now?
The only hope I have is really bleak. And it’s that the Christian fanatics underestimate how little the billionaires actually care and will ultimately decide theocracy is bad for business and the ending of There Will Be Blood happens in real life. We’d still be in a cyberpunk dystopia but at least we wouldn’t be put down for not attending church
