"Money, God and lies: These are the three pillars of the movement that led to Donald Trump's disturbing victory in November. A well-funded #propaganda machine that exploits people's cultural #fears and spiritual yearnings, turning them away from their economic self-interests and toward an #authoritarian movement to end democracy. Katherine Stewart spent months traveling and researching the various people — from far-right priests to atheist #billionaires — who have come together to #bamboozle millions of Americans into backing a political movement that wants to take away their rights and safety.

"In her new book 'Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy,' Stewart offers a grounds-eye view of the machine that led so many Americans to vote against themselves and their democracy. She spoke with Salon about her experiences and how it is that disinformation has gotten its hooks into so many Americans."
