225 pages ; 24 cm. Today's Republican party has become an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. If we turn our backs on that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return. Whenever a democracy slides into autocracy, there are five critical elements at work: financiers, propagandists, support of a major party, legal theories to legitimize authoritarian acts, and shock troops. The book examines each of these driving forces on the Right and makes clear how they are working in concert to end our democracy as we know it Introduction: The conspiracy to end America Chapter 1: The propagandists Chapter 2: The support of the party Chapter 3: The financers Chapter 4: The legal theories Chapter 5: The shock troops Afterword: Driving toward autocracy Acknowledgments Stuart Stevens. n-us--- Trump, Donald 1946- Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) Partido Republicano (Estados Unidos: 1854-) Elections United States, 2020 Elecciones Estados Unidos 2020 Dictatorship United States Dictadura Estados Unidos JK 1976 S846c 2023 9781538765401 (hardcover) 1538765403 (hardcover) 2023942124 DLC 230710 20250523112358.0 23220857 eng
