About this listen

The attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a Christian insurrection. Christian symbolism was present everywhere during the melee. A sign reading “Jesus Saves” could be seen standing near a crude gallows erected to hang Vice President Mike Pence and other lawmakers who had betrayed Donald Trump by failing to overturn the presidential election. One man waved the flag of Israel above a sign that read, “Say Yes to Jesus”. “Shout if you love Jesus!” someone in the crowd yelled. “Shout if you love Trump!” someone answered in response. Once inside the Capitol, the rioters prayed in the Senate chamber.

Throughout his presidency, Donald Trump sought to weaponize American Christianity and use it for his own political benefit. But he could not have done so without the willing assistance of church leaders who were seduced by the prospect of wielding political power in their battle to win the culture war.

This audiobook seeks to unravel the strange relationship between Donald Trump and his deluded Christian followers and to explain why Christians from all over the United States would converge on Washington, DC, and storm the US Capitol in the service of a transparent lie.
