Why did many Evangelicals vote for Donald Trump, a figure whose actions seem to contradict Christian values? Sarah Posner, a seasoned reporter on the religious right, provides a compelling answer in this meticulously researched inquiry. She explores the radical history of the religious right, revealing that issues of race and xenophobia are central to the movement. Religion has often been employed to mask anxieties about perceived threats to a white, Christian America. This anti-democratic impulse, coupled with a narrative of reverse victimization, unites the religious right and the alt-right in a shared agenda. They are actively working to erode democratic norms, roll back civil rights, appoint hard-right judges, deregulate federal agencies, and undermine the credibility of the press. Furthermore, this powerful coalition is increasingly aligning with European far-right groups, contributing to a global movement expected to persist beyond the Trump era. This work offers crucial insights into the ideological forces shaping Republican politics, making it essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of American democracy.
