They Long to End Democracy

They long to end democracy. There are three organizations in the United State that have all, in recent years, signaled and even said outright that Democracy's day is done in the United States - and each is poised to replace it. These groups include the Grand Old Party - US Republicans, who have declared for almost two decades now their desire to install a "permanent majority"; the Christian Nationalists, Evangelicals who have believed since the mid-Seventies that the United States should be a theocracy, not a democracy, with their own people in charge; and the oligarchy, a network of ultra-wealthy citizens - the top 1% of the top 1% - who have labored for decades to supplant the New Deal framework of the United States with a neoliberal one more favorable to their interests. This series of short books presents overviews of all three of these groups - who they are, what they're about, and how they intend to go about implementing their own visions of American governance.
