Theocrats, Tech Lords, and the Quest for Absolute Power

Sam talks to Dr. Bradley Onishi about his new book, ⁠American Caesar: How Theocrats and Tech Lords Are Turning America into a Monarchy.⁠

“Bradley Onishi has issued an alarming and urgent warning for the future of democracy. American Caesar reveals how a movement of white Christian nationalists, Silicon Valley plutocrats, postliberal philosophers, and reactionary monarchist theologians are hiding in plain sight with a carefully orchestrated plan to disassemble democratic freedoms in favor of a theocratic state ruled by a Christian prince.” 

—Walter Earl Fluker, Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor Emeritus of Ethical Leadership, Boston University

IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY, WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT A FASCIST AMERICA!

NOW IS the TIME WHEN WE MUST RISE UP and ACT to STOP the CONSOLIDATION of TRUMP MAGA FASCISM. For the lives of people here and around the world we must refuse unlawful and inhumane orders… we must fill the streets and town squares in non-violent protest—not stopping until we become millions — not relenting until this regime is no longer able to implement its program or maintain its hold on power.
