Christian Adams divulges in his shocking exposé, Injustice, justice under the Obama administration is anything but blind. Here, Adams reveals the never-before-published truth about the corrupt, racist, and politicized inner workings of the Obama Justice Department, as well as the untold story of the DOJ’s corrupt handling of the New Black Panther voter intimidation case.

Christian Bennike – født i 1986 – er barn af en optimistisk og tryg tid med en naiv tro på fremskridtet og på fornuftens uovervindelige kraft. I bogen bevidner han det skift, som har fundet sted i Vesten og i Danmark: fra optimismen fra midten af 1990’erne over forceret exces i 00’erne og eskalerende utryghed og politisk opbrud i 10’erne til nu 20’ernes radikale fortløbende kriser: klima-, finans- og energikrise, Brexit og Trump, pandemi og krig i Europa. Kriserne har ændret vores blik på politik, etik og økonomi – og på os selv.

In 2016, many Christian leaders opposed candidate Donald Trump. He was a social liberal, and his vulgarity, divorces, affairs, and scandals made it impossible for him to defend Christian values in public life. Or so they thought. Trump nevertheless won an overwhelming majority of the Evangelical vote in 2016, as well as the Catholic vote. And in 2020, the idea that he can’t represent Christians is demonstrably false.

Most Americans were shocked by the violence they witnessed at the nation's Capital on January 6th, 2021. And many were bewildered by the images displayed by the insurrectionists: a wooden cross and wooden gallows; "Jesus saves" and "Don't Tread on Me;" Christian flags and Confederate Flags; even a prayer in Jesus's name after storming the Senate chamber. Where some saw a confusing jumble, Philip S. Gorski and Samuel L. Perry saw a familiar ideology: white Christian nationalism.
