This book analyzes the impact of white Christian nationalism on American society, using a quantitative-statistical approach. It argues that citizens are more likely to support nationalist, inequitable, and oppressive philosophies when they are presented in racialized and religious terms, justified by fear, and linked to religious beliefs.

This book analyzes the several significant factors that influenced the cultural environment to move American democracy toward authoritarianism. The author hypothesizes that growing xenophobia, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the 2008 recession, and neoliberal economic philosophy were the shocks that made possible a lurch toward autocratic democracy.
