Hyperpartisanship has gridlocked the American government. Congress' approval ratings are at record lows, and both Democrats and Republicans are disgusted by the government's inability to get anything done. In It's Even Worse Than It Looks, Congressional scholars Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein present a grim picture of how party polarization and tribal politics have led Congress - and the United States - to the brink of institutional failure.

Histoire
Why the Right Went Wrong offers a historical view of the right since the 1960s. Its core contention is that American conservatism and the Republican Party took a wrong turn when they adopted Barry Goldwater's worldview during and after the 1964 campaign. Since 1968, no conservative administration could live up to the rhetoric rooted in the Goldwater movement that began to reshape American politics 50 years ago.

Histoire
Donald Trump's presidency has raised a question that many of us never thought we'd be asking: Is our democracy in danger? Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt have spent two decades studying the breakdown of democracies in Europe and Latin America, and they believe the answer is yes. Democracy no longer ends with a bang - in a revolution or military coup - but with a whimper: the slow, steady weakening of critical institutions, such as the judiciary and the press, and the gradual erosion of long-standing political norms.

How did America end up with a leader who acts so crudely and despotically, and counter to our democratic principles? Why do his followers stick with him, even when he acts against their interests? John Dean, a man with a history of standing up to autocratic presidents, joins with Bob Altemeyer, a psychology professor with a unique area of expertise: authoritarianism. Together, using psychological diagnostic tools, as well as exclusive research and analysis from the Monmouth University Polling Institute, the authors provide us with an eye-opening understanding of the Trump phenomenon.

Stuart Stevens spent decades electing Republicans at every level, from presidents to senators to local officials. He knows the GOP as intimately as anyone in America, and in this new audiobook, he offers a devastating portrait of a party that has lost its moral and political compass. This is not an audiobook about how Donald J. Trump hijacked the Republican Party and changed it into something else. Stevens shows how Trump is in fact the natural outcome of five decades of hypocrisy and self-delusion, dating all the way back to the civil rights legislation of the early 1960s.

A huge swath of Americans have put their faith in Trump, and Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that doesn't have a place for them. If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from them.

Every major decision governing our diverse, majority-female, and increasingly liberal country bears the stamp of the US Senate, yet the Senate allows an almost exclusively White, predominantly male, and radically conservative minority of the American electorate to impose its will on the rest of us. How did we get to this point? In Kill Switch, Adam Jentleson argues that shifting demographics alone cannot explain how Mitch McConnell harnessed the Senate and turned it into a powerful weapon of minority rule.

James Comey might best be known as the FBI director that Donald Trump fired in 2017, but he’s had a long, varied career in the law and justice system. He knows better than most just what a force for good the US justice system can be - and how far afield it has strayed during the Trump presidency. In his much-anticipated follow-up to A Higher Loyalty, Comey uses anecdotes and lessons from his career to show how the federal justice system works.

During the 20th century, America managed to make its economic and social systems both more and more fair and more and more prosperous. A huge, secure, and contented middle class emerged. All boats rose together. But then the New Deal gave way to the Raw Deal. Beginning in the early 1970s, by means of a long war conceived of and executed by a confederacy of big business CEOs, the superrich, and right-wing zealots, the rules and norms that made the American middle class possible were undermined and dismantled.

The extraordinary authority of the US presidency has no parallel in the democratic world. Today, that authority resides in the hands of one man, Donald J. Trump. But rarely if ever has the nature of a president clashed more profoundly with the nature of the office. Unmaking the Presidency tells the story of the confrontation between a person and the institution he almost wholly embodies. From the moment of his inauguration, Trump has challenged our deepest expectations of the presidency. But what are those expectations, where did they come from, and how great is the damage?

Description
This program is read by the authors.
A call to action from three of Washington's premier political scholar-journalists, One Nation After Trump offers the definitive work on the threat posed by the Trump presidency and how to counter it.
American democracy was never supposed to give the nation a president like Donald Trump. We have never had a president who gave rise to such widespread alarm about his lack of commitment to the institutions of self-government, to the norms democracy requires, and to the need for basic knowledge about how government works. We have never had a president who raises profound questions about his basic competence and his psychological capacity to take on the most challenging political office in the world.
Yet if Trump is both a threat to our democracy and a product of its weaknesses, the citizen activism he has inspired is the antidote. The reaction to the crisis created by Trump's presidency can provide the foundation for an era of democratic renewal and vindicate our long experiment in self-rule.
The award-winning authors of One Nation After Trump explain Trump's rise and the danger his administration poses to our free institutions. They also offer encouragement to the millions of Americans now experiencing a new sense of citizenship and engagement and argue that our nation needs a unifying alternative to Trump's dark and divisive brand of politics - an alternative rooted in a new economy, a new patriotism, a new civil society, and a new democracy. One Nation After Trump is the essential audiobook for our era, an unsparing assessment of the perils facing the United States and an inspiring road map for how we can reclaim the future.

Pleasurable Factual Density, much needed
With alarms sounding around the clock about everything from tweets to Melania's hurricane attire this book digs deep and dispenses with the alarmist mentality of general anti-Trump writings and interviews. Facts reign supreme and a forward looking gaze mitigate against the dark cloud that many of us see when looking at the immediate effects and implications of a Trump election and presidency.

Excellent material & analysis, but…
The authors have done an incredible job not only in presenting and analyzing how our sociopolitical structures have changed over the past 30-ish years to have brought us to where we are now, but to also propose well thought out methods by which we can begin to not only fix much of what is broken but to also lay the groundwork for tru social & governmental progress.
While I am grateful for the authors efforts to present as up-to-date material as possible, I hope that a “revised” audio format with a professional narrator will be coming in the near future. The authors did a fantastic job with the material, but they’re not professional speakers. I appreciate their efforts, at times it can be difficult to listen to their “performance”.
I highly recommend this book for everyone who is interested/concerned about our government & society - for BOTH “ConservativeS” and “Liberals” who are dissatisfied with where we are as a country.

I loved this book. It lays out how Trump won and what we must do as a nation to defeat him. I highly recommend it to every one seeking deeper understanding of how we got here and where we go from here. Let’s just pray that we are able to achieve the goals laid out herein before we end up in a nuclear war with North Korea!

Nothing but ranting about Trump
I'm center-right on Economic issues (don't add to the debt during good times) and moderately left wing on social issues (gay marriage, immigration, marijuana). But even I found this book far-left-wing. Mostly the writers just kept presenting evidence about how bad Trump is for America (all of which is true), and a few minutes of suggested policy changes.

wrong conclusions, wrong medicine
The Neoliberal center is what brought us Trump. He is a consequence of the democratic party carrying more about money than people, and tough you correctly point that out, you refuse to even contemplate that the center of the Democratic Party is so unpopular that it lost over 1000 seats in the last 8 years and could not even win against Donald Trump. Calling this sexism and racism is a wrong headed, malicious, counter factual, self serving myth. Elizabeth Warren or Tulsi Gabbard both could have won. It was the arrogance of the Democratic Party that lost. It was not even just Hillary Clinton. The backlash against Obama was about Timothy Geithner, drone strikes, mass evictions, bankers getting of scott free while taking fat bonuses from their no restrictions TARP bailout money, violence against water protectors, police violence against black lives while Obama was present and on and on. The DNC limited debates, they locked out independent voters six months before primaries, they closed polling stations and there is even credible evidence of actual criminal election fraud that was perpetrated during the primaries by the DNC and the Clinton campaign. 123,000 voters were purged from the Democratic primary in Brookline alone! And this information all pressures WikiLeaks. The real election fraud happened during the primaries and the voters elected Trump because they were too smart to fall for the better of two evils argument again. They drew a line in the sand and the Democratic Party is ignoring it. If not outright criminal, the primaries were most certainly an arrogant, insulting ethical slap in the face to any aware socially conscious person who was really paying attention. This is not fake news and that line in the sand is still there. Unfortunately for all of us, more than 2/3 of the democratic party is on the wrong side of that line and although there may be some gains in 2018, it is not going to be because of the people want to move to the center.

More reasons for revolution
Trump has lied and with the help of his comrades made a mockery of our election process and a joke of our country. He needs to go and the sooner the better. He’s nothing more than a sorry excuse for a man and a human being in general. Just a waste of air.
