Inside the movement to destroy American democracy.

How is it possible that the American electorate could have supported a leader who has ushered in an era of unprecedented corruption, grift, and autocratic rule? Why has the Republican party, once considered the party of “family values,” been complicit in covering up for a president who was once Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend? The damage done to America’s democratic institutions and values is real and likely to endure. But the forces that brought Donald Trump to power long preceded him and will long outlast him.

Chaired by historian of American religion and Oxford University Professor Anthea Butler, New York Times bestselling author Katherine Stewart (Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy) and Keri Ladner (American Dominion: The Rise and Radicalization of a New Christendom ) explore the origins and destiny of the anti-democratic movement in the US and its implications for the UK, Europe, and beyond.
