From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and cohost of Pod Save America, this sharp political playbook outlines how Democrats can confront Trump, McConnell, Fox News, and the right-wing forces shaping American politics. Winning against Donald Trump in 2020 is crucial, but it’s just the beginning. The book presents three vital insights: Trump is not an anomaly but a natural progression of the modern Republican Party; strategies for Democrats to defeat him in 2020; and a roadmap to prevent future figures like Trump by reforming democracy. The extensive list of Trump's offenses highlights the ongoing struggle against Trumpism, characterized by racism, authoritarianism, and plutocracy, which has come to define the Republican Party. A cynical strategy orchestrated by Mitch McConnell, backed by the Kochs, and amplified by Fox News has distorted American politics, silencing the populace in favor of the elite. Without a strong response acknowledging the Republican agenda, American democracy risks enduring a conservative minority rule for years. The author, Dan Pfeiffer, with nearly two decades in Democratic politics, argues for bold reforms—such as court reform, abolishing the electoral college, and eliminating the filibuster—to enhance democracy and empower the Democratic Party. This book is a rallying cry for Democrats and progressives to adopt a smarter, tougher, and more aggressive approach without losing their identity.
