Reactionary Catholics dream of a new Christendom. Protestant pastors invoke divine right over democratic rule. Tech billionaires, led by the likes of Peter Thiel, argue that freedom and democracy are incompatible. Their solution? A singular ruler to bring \"order\" out of what they see as liberal chaos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a theologian's sensibility, a journalist's touch, and a historian's eye for how movements evolve and adapt, Dr. Bradley B. Onishi traces the strange alliance between spiritual warfare and Silicon Valley libertarianism. At the center of it all is the desire for an unbound executive--one man, beyond checks, beyond balance, beyond democracy. This isn't nostalgia for the 1950s. It's an organized attempt to abandon the American experiment altogether. A former insider turned academic expert, Onishi brings unmatched depth to this investigation--tracing his own path from evangelical pastor to co-host of \u003ci\u003eStraight White American Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e, the nation's leading religion and politics podcast. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the 2024 election fades into history and a new political order takes shape, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Caesar\u003c\/i\u003e is not just a warning. It's a map of how we got here--and a call to act before the Republic as we know it becomes just another chapter in a forgotten history book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bradley B.
