By now everyone in America knows about January 6, 2021, and the insurrection acts against the Capitol. This book researches the events that led to that day and how television and social media has changed people’s opinions of people and politics.
Many people believe that these changes were recent. The author shows that this movement began with George Bush and Al Gore election and continued to grow during the Obama presidency. This movement is based on fear, conspiracy theories, propaganda, and outright lies. There is so much hatred and its being bred and mass communicated on air and online.
As a woman watching my rights being taken away, I was appalled and scared reading this book. It makes me wonder what will be left of our great country in five or ten years from now. The author did an amazing job with researching and presenting the information in a captivating way, so it is easy to understand. He tells us if we do not do something soon, it will be too late for democracy as we know it. If you are interested in politics, you should read this book.
