Since 2014, over 80 people have been killed in the United States of America by Right-wing terrorists. In 2016 Donald Trump was elected President of the United States and received substantial support from White nationalists. This book explains the increase in violent White nationalism and Trump’s ascendancy in the context of the backlash against the presidency of Barack Obama. It demonstrates how there is a dynamic relationship between the Republican Party, various Right-wing populist movements, and the Right. Far Right social movements, political campaigns and the online presence of the so-called ‘alt-Right’ are all discussed. The book argues that unfair hierarchies of race, gender, and class are not aberrational tremors in America, but the fracturing bedrock of a nation in which being White, male, Christian, or straight no longer ensures a stable floor for power, status, or privilege. This is vital reading for students, researchers, and activists interested in American politics and the dangers of Right-wing movements and political parties.

White supremacist violence, QAnon, the MAGA movement--how did the United States get to where we are today? This enduring work offers a panoramic view of right-wing populism in the United States from the Colonial period through the 20th century. Chip Berlet and Matthew N. Lyons show how anti-elitist rhetoric, conspiracy theories, and ethnic scapegoating have influenced mainstream politics and culture throughout our history, far more than most Americans realize. The book examines the Jacksonians, the Ku Klux Klan, and a host of Cold War nationalist cliques, and relates them to the electoral campaigns of Patrick Buchanan, the militancy of the Posse Comitatus, the culture wars of the Christian Right, Clinton-era conspiracy theories, and more. Combining vivid description and incisive analysis, Berlet and Lyons explain how large numbers of disaffected Americans have long embraced right-wing populism in a misguided attempt to challenge power relations in U.S. society. The book offers a prescient perspective on the dangers that right-wing populism poses to our political system and to the goals of equality and social justice.Winner--Outstanding Book Award, Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Bigotry and Human Rights in North America
