Zeni Perez’s Reviews > Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy > Status Update

The subtext of a conservative school going full fascism is a legitimization of violence & illiberalism. Intellectuals take from Pluto and friends philosophy that if you don’t accept what they’re giving you, worse will come? Leads to blaming all who break the norm

The right rallies against “woke communism” but look like the villains themselves more than the resistance. It’s 2 sides of the upper middle class going against each other.

Too many liberal, leaning donors failed to understand or support the type of organizational infrastructure building in relationship building that’s required to forge a broad political movement. Liberals think you make social change by coming up with solutions that are evidence based, but people are less rational than that. Hence, conservative gaining their movement.

Seid is funding conservative dreams by believing in libertarian and fairytales. The conservatives hate of public education, started out of racism as far back as the reconstruction era, not wanting to pay for black education with taxpayer money.

The republicans on school boards care more about dismantling the education than the kids it’s meant to teach

Moms for liberty is more about using public ed as a scapegoat for American societies problems. They want to break what they can’t buy considering the founders have connections to the GOP & 50% of the charter schools in Florida

Abortion was the topic that brought religions together to counter feminism, women’s bodily autonomy, & favor eugenics. It evolved from family planning to moral responsibility because it’s served a political purpose of the right. Serving big money more than God.

Kinda love how this is just listing the opps

MAGA connects the white Christians that feel they’re being discriminated against and losing their dominance in their country to a foreign influence. Culture ties more than economics. Pastors & religious figures are meant to get their congregations to vote because they’re who they trust most.

The millionaires funding the antidemocratic revolution are outsourcing the thinking to people who perceive a “woke” America as a threat to their status quo. The infantry is made up of middle to lower class citizens of little education who make up the voting population controlled by sergeants that tell them how to. The sergeants are voting for Christian nationalism (not Christianity).
