Donald Trump is the exact threat our Founding Fathers feared.
Joe Walsh is as rock-ribbed a conservative as they come. But he believes that no right-wing policy victory is worth the loss of our very democracy.
In this clear-eyed and unsparing book, Walsh makes the case that Trump has more in common with the foreign dictators he praises publicly than a predecessor like Ronald Reagan. Trump is an existential threat to conservatism, the presidency, and national unity. He has violated the Constitution in plain sight, assaulted democratic institutions, overwhelmed the country with disinformation, erected around himself a cult of personality, and governed according to his narcissism more than any discernable political philosophy.
Though Walsh agrees with Trump that the Washington elite has hung working-class America out to dry, traveling down the road to despotism is no response. And now a person who places himself above the rule of law and accountability sits in the Oval Office—all that’s missing is a big, beautiful throne behind the Resolute Desk. In F*ck Silence, Walsh challenges his countrymen, especially his fellow conservatives, to acknowledge and oppose this unpatriotic and un-American behavior before we give away what made America great in the first place: our democracy.

Nä, det här var inget vidare. Tänkte att jag skulle kunna få lite vettig kritik mot Trump men det börjar med kritik om att Trump twittrat om var Stormen Dorian ska slå och att han säger Alabama och det leder Walsh till bevis om hur Trump ljuger om allt. Alltså, stackars SMHI om Walsh någon gång slår på vädret. Efter det rullar Walsh argumentation bara nedför och det lyfter inte. Googlade även efter hur Trump själv bemött Walsh och det verkar inte dyka upp några träffar. Låter mest som en Walsh som en mygga som svingar vilt för att få armarna att gå som vingarna på en mygga för att höras åtminstone lite. Lägg tiden på bättre Trump-kritiska böcker.
