Produktbeschreibung
From Russia to South Africa, from Turkey to the Philippines, from Venezuela to Hungary, authoritarian leaders have smashed restraints on their power. The freedom of the media and the judiciary has eroded. The right to vote remains, but the right to have one’s vote counted honestly does not. Until the US presidential election of 2016, the global decline of democracy seemed a concern for other people in other lands. That complacent optimism has been upended by the political rise of Donald Trump. The crisis is upon Americans, here and now. David Frum has been collecting the lies, obfuscations, and flagrant disregard for the traditional limits placed on the office of the presidency. During his own tenure in the White House as speechwriter for George W. Bush, Frum witnessed the ways the presidency was limited not by law but by tradition, propriety, and public outcry, all now weakened. However long the Trump presidency lasts, the harms done will not be soon or easily corrected. In this powerful, eye-opening book, Frum makes clear that the hard work of recovery starts at home. Trumpocracy outlines how Trump could push America toward illiberalism, what the consequences could be for our nation and the world, and what we can do to prevent it.
