Today\u2019s Republican party is not a \u201cnormal\u201d political party in the American tradition. It has become an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As Stuart Stevens argues in THE CONSPIRACY TO END AMERICA, if we look away from that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>Whenever a democracy slides into autocracy, there are five critical elements at financers, propagandists, party support, legal theories to legitimize, and shock troops. THE CONSPIRACY TO END AMERICA examines each of these driving forces on the Right and makes clear how they are working in concert to end our democracy as we know it.\u00a0<br>\u00a0<br>In the tradition of\u00a0 It Can\u2019t Happen Here \u00a0and\u00a0 On Tyranny , THE CONSPIRACY TO END AMERICA is a blinking red distress call about the dark intentions lurking within Stevens\u2019 old party and a rallying cry to beat back this perilous threat and save the Republic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Goodreads.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Conspiracy to End America: Five Ways My Old Party Is Driving Our Democracy to Autocracy Stuart Stevens \u201cThis is the first must-read of the 2024 election cycle if you want to understand the stakes.\u201d \u2013Nicolle Wallace Former chief Republican strategist, Lincoln Project adviser, and bestselling author of It Was&#8230; <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/2023\/11\/01\/book-the-conspiracy-to-end-america-five-ways-my-old-party-is-driving-our-democracy-to-autocracy\/\"> Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr; <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1333,1334],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29556"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29556"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29557,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29556\/revisions\/29557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/occupysf.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
