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.

    As I was watching the future of xtian belief (waning, and fast) and the changing of demographics (not as white), I kind of expected the reactionary elements in this country to act like a cornered animal.

    These people hate everything about the American experiment. They hate normal Americans having the freedom to tell their little book club to shove it and to mind their own business. I’m sure the stats that show nearly 1 out of 3 Americans are “nones” (and growing) and that the numbers of xtians keeps falling (ironically, I bet immigration is what keeps it even propped up to the 60-some percent it is at now)
