Review: Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy

Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy by Katherine Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well researched (with tons of footnotes & sources with sources for those interested - or even those who think this is overblown/fake).  I admire how the author has been able to really talk to people (for example at an anti-abortion meeting).  I imagine her style is similar to The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper when he does his "Fingers the Pulse" segments.  (available on YouTube if interested).
I think this sentence summarizes the book perfectly:  "Christian Nationalism and the new right are the power couple of American fascism."
If you are not white, male, (conservative) Christian, and (preferably) rich; you have no place in what they are building.
