Product Description
With the Soviet Union extinct, Saddam Hussein defeated and US power at its zenith, the early 1990s promised a 'kinder, gentler America.' Instead, it was a period of punishing economic hardship, rising anger and domestic strife, setting the tone for the polarization and resurgent extremism we know today. The early 1990s climate of despair was weaponized by con men, conspiracists and racists - notably the former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan David Duke - both in the wider culture and at the ballot box. In other words, they sought to 'break the clock' of progress and 'repeal the twentieth century'. They gave Americans' resentment a shape and direction, and forged a new kind of paranoid, conspiratorial politcs. In this book, Ganz narrates the fall of the Reagan order and the rise of the conspiratorial politics that birthed Donald Trump's America.
