In this short primer, Gorski and Perry explain what white Christian nationalism is and is not; when it first emerged and how it has changed; where it's headed and why it threatens democracy. Tracing the development of this ideology over the course of three centuries--and especially its influence over the last three decades--they show how nhite Christian nationalism motivates the anti-democratic, authoritarian, and violent impulses on display in our current political moment.
