‘Reactionary nihilism’: how a rightwing movement strives to end US democracy

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.
