The rise of the spirit warriors God and man in Las Vegas No exit Exporting the counterrevolution Conclusion : The way forward? Why have so many Americans turned against democracy? In this deeply reported book, Katherine Stewart takes us to conferences of conspiracy-mongers, backroom strategy gatherings, and services at extremist churches, and profiles the people who want to tear it all down. She introduces us to reactionary Catholic activists, atheist billionaires, pseudo-Platonist intellectuals, self-appointed apostles of Jesus, disciples of Ayn Rand, women-hating opponents of "the gynocracy," pronatalists preoccupied with the dearth of white babies, COVID truthers, militia members masquerading as "concerned moms" and battalions of spirit warriors who appear to be inventing a new style of religion even as they set about attacking democracy at its foundations. Along the way, she provides a compelling analysis of the authoritarian reaction in the United States. She demonstrates that the movement relies on several distinct constituencies, with very different and often conflicting agendas. Stewart's reporting and comprehensive political analysis helps reframe the conversation about the moral collapse of conservatism in America and points the way forward toward a democratic future.-- Publisher description Democracy United States Democracia Estados Unidos 2815 Political culture United States Cultura política Estados Unidos 2268 Anger Political aspects United States Polarization (Social sciences) United States Polarización (Ciencias sociales) Estados Unidos 1366 Right and left (Political science) United States Derecha e izquierda (Ciencias políticas) Estados Unidos 20290 Right-wing extremists United States Extremistas de derecha Estados Unidos 7685 Conservatism United States History 21st century Conservadurismo Estados Unidos Historia Siglo XXI 5216 Left-wing extremists United States Extremistas de izquierda Estados Unidos 34100 United States Politics and government 21st century Estados Unidos Política y gobierno Siglo XXI 9887 United States Politics and government Estados Unidos Política y gobierno 2191 Bloomsbury (Firm) publisher DLC bibframe2marc v2.10-dev 20250519 DLC https://github.com/lcnetdev/bibframe2marc/releases/tag/v2.10-dev 7 cbc copycat 2 ncip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK LLH 125714 125714 0 0 lcc 0 0 CS BJB BJB CS 2025-10-31 0 JC 421 S849m 2025 00000196703 2025-10-31 22:51:00 1 2025-10-31 BK
