The Day AfterThe Day After

"The Day After is a wake-up call about the decades-long project that let to Trump's America. It's the antidote to the plague of corruption and abuses of power that have sickened our country and the rest of the world. It delivers a cold-eyed analysis of how Trump, aided and abetted by elected officials and appointed lackeys, has perverted public service into a private profit machine. Because it's only when we fully appreciate how much we have lost that we can finally find our path to a better future. This is the playbook for progressives who want to do far more than restore the status quo. This is how we build a stronger country, with hope and opportunity for all -- before our democracy slides into a distant memory."--Book jacket flap.
