The Battle for the Soul of the Nation is a brilliant, scathing, and side-splitting political satire that reads like a celestial tribunal drama infused with the bite of George Carlin, the soul of Mark Twain, and the urgency of Rachel Maddow. Set inside the mind of a 77-year-old narrator whose Voices in his Head since 1981 include God, Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Harry Truman, and others-this theatrical bonus chapter pulls no punches in its fiery indictment of Trumpism, the Christian Right, and the radical transformation of America under the dark shadow of Project 2025.
In this dramatic fantasy dialogue, the heavenly voices are in crisis. Abraham Lincoln is stunned to learn that the Republican Party has turned into a cult. George Washington fumes as Project 2025 replaces him with Hungary's Viktor Orbán as the new "Father of the Country." Jesus grows ill hearing Trump called the "Orange Jesus." And Truman can't stop swearing as he tries to explain how a convicted felon is now the GOP's savior.
Each scene delivers blistering satire: Clarence Thomas is grilled over luxury vacations and financial favors; Sam Alito's wife's insurrection flags are waved like battle standards; Ginni Thomas and Martha-Ann Alito are exposed for their hypocrisy and extremism; and the entire Supreme Court is rebranded the Robbers Supreme Court. The founding fathers-men who believed in Enlightenment values-wrestle with how their democratic republic gave way to a MAGA theocracy fueled by lies, grievance, greed, and fear.
What begins as a comedy of errors transforms into a spiritual crisis. With MAGA followers described as CINOs ("Christians In Name Only"), the battle becomes one not just for democracy, but for decency, memory, and moral courage. The voices argue, grieve, rage, and hope as they watch Kamala Harris and Tim Walz arrive onstage to thunderous applause, offering a brief yet powerful glimpse of what "joyful warriors" can still achieve.
The Battle for the Soul of the Nation is not for the faint of heart-but it is for the broken-hearted, the justice-seekers, the democracy-defenders, and the faithful. A searing bonus epilogue to God's New World Inc., it brings history's ghosts into the fray and leaves no institution-especially the Supreme Court-unjudged.
