Rezensionen

'We find ourselves at a perilous moment in our history and civilization. Government is a critical institution, and if we are to survive the many crises we presently face, we need a deeper and more humane critique of how we got here. If you agree that fascism, authoritarianism, polarization, and narcissism, are enemies of democracy and progressive politics, and are inherently anti-democratic and illiberal, you want to read and reflect on understanding the age of Trump. To do so, one must understand the phenomenon of Trump, the relationship between charisma and sycophantism, the delusional sway of right-wing ideologies, Trump's followers, and their racial resentments. At a time like this, we need clarity and insight. Allcorn and Stein have successfully given us just that.'
