In 2007, Chris Hedges, a journalist and theologian, wrote the bestselling book, "American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America" which was quite prescient in foretelling the political climate we're now living under Trump and Project 2025. If you don't know why he believes the next election may be our last, now is a good time to find out why.
