Global democracy just fell to its lowest level since 1978, and the U.S. posted the fastest one-year democratic decline ever recorded. In this episode, host Nick Van Zandt sits down with Deanna Wilken, President of the Human Rights Research Center, co-founder of Unruled Masses, and former USAID officer, to break down who and what is actually driving the global rise of authoritarianism, and why.
Christian nationalism isn't a fringe belief, it's an organized political movement that's been building for over a century, and it has already reached the Pentagon, the White House, and the federal judiciary. In this Unruled Voices episode, we trace the strategy behind it: a decades-old blueprint to capture government, education, media, and business; a recent Department of Defense policy that slashed its list of recognized religions from 211 to 30; and peer-reviewed research showing Christian nationalist belief is the strongest predictor of Americans' support for suspending elections. This isn't a story about faith, especially considering we've watched major Christian denominations oppose it. It's a story about power, and what you can do about it.
