​“One of the most undercovered stories of our fraught political moment is the major role of the religious right and Christian nationalism in driving the Republican Party’s ongoing abandonment of democracy. Brynn Tannehill’s efforts to fill this gaping hole in our discourse are pointed and relentless.” 
                  Greg Sargent, writer for The Washington Post 

"Brynn Tannenhill has written a deeply-researched, searing indictment of forces in American society working through the Republican Party to destroy democracy. She takes us back in history, showing how the groundwork has been laid and what will happen if people across this nation don't take the threat seriously. Written with vigor, clarity and enormous compassion, American Fascism is a five-alarm fire, warning of the danger all around us and how we must battle it head on."
                  Michael Signorile, Author of It's Not Over: Getting Beyond Tolerance, Defeating Homophobia, and Winning True Equality

​“Written with a verve and panache missing from most scholarly works on the topic, American Fascism displays Brynn Tannehill’s gift for mastering vital points of detail while still offering her readers the “big picture.” Paying particular attention to economics, the law, media, and religion, she offers the first attempt at a truly comprehensive understanding of how we got to this point in our nation’s troubled history—and how we might hope to emerge from it. Most importantly, she shows how we can both understand Trumpism as fascism while also probing the deep sources of this fascism from within our own history.”
                  Richard Steigmann-Gall, author of The Holy Reich: Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919-1945

The Democracy Game

In this extended interview with Greg Olear, Brynn explains the historical background of the GOP's contemporary embrace of fascism and authoritarianism, from the South's postbellum dismantling of the 14th and 15th Amendments designed to protecting newly freed slaves to the crucial efforts of key players such as Newt Gingrich and Paul Weyrich in the 1990s. Brynn also predicts the continuing demise of democracy and civil rights that we will see in the next six months as a result of SCOTUS rulings and individual state laws.
