WHY BUY THIS BOOK: * Save time by reading this summary * economize by buying this summary * Gain more in-depth knowledge ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK "Trump gathered the most nefarious forces in American history and led them with the ease of a grand maestro." Like many folks, Adam Serwer didn't know that Donald Trump would win the 2016 election. But over the four years that followed, the Atlantic staff writer became one among our most astute analysts of the Trump presidency and therefore the volatile powers it harnessed. The shock that greeted Trump's victory, and therefore the subsequent cruelty of his presidency, represented a failure to confront elements of the American past long thought vanquished. In this searing collection, Serwer chronicles the Trump administration not as an aberration but as an outgrowth of the inequalities us was founded on. Serwer is a smaller amount curious about the presidential spectacle than within the ideological and structural currents behind Trump's rise--including a media that was often blindsided by the ugly realities of what the administration represented and the way it came to be. While deeply engaged with the instant, Serwer's writing is additionally haunted by ghosts of an unresolved American past, a past that torments this. In bracing new essays and previously published works, he explores white nationalism, myths about migration, the political power of police unions, and therefore the many faces of anti-Semitism. For all the dynamics he examines, cruelty is that the glue, the binding agent of a movement fueled by fear and exclusion. Serwer argues that instead of pretending these four years didn't happen or dismissing them as a quick moment of madness, we must face what made them possible. Without acknowledging and confronting these toxic legacies, the delicate dream of yank multiracial democracy will remain susceptible to another ambitious demagogue.
