Katherine Stewart's new book offers a grounds-eye view of the machine that led so many Americans to vote against democracy.

Stewart : The new right and Christian nationalists are a power couple of American authoritarianism.

Both want to smash the institutions that safeguard our democracy, she says.

She says the Christian nationalist movement is more focused on rejecting pluralism and equality.

Amanda Marcotte : Christian nationalism is not just an ideology, but a mindset.

She says it's a mindset that includes "us versus them," "pure versus the impure" and persecution.

Marcotte says the movement is organized as organized around the profit motive of its funders.

She argues the funders are not any one type of Christian nationalist, but some are religious.

The Reawaken America tour is a traveling, pro-Trump conspiracy-fest.

It's organized by Mike Flynn , who's a close ally of Trump , and Clay Clark .
