CHAPTER

Grifting and Ideological Paradoxes in the Far-Right

This chapter examines the grifting phenomenon in the far-right movement, revealing the disparity between elite financial backers and the average supporters they claim to represent. Through discussions of key political figures, the conversation highlights how the rhetoric of small government and representation often conflicts with the reality of elitism and oligarchic influences. The analysis also touches upon the intertwining of politics and religion, exploring the rise of an 'American Caesar' ideology alongside critiques of contemporary Christian values and societal narratives.
