That is not what happened. Instead, shockingly, "the big steal" has increasingly become dogma among an ever-higher percentage of American Republicans.What happened to the Republican Party, and America, during the Trump presidency is a story we more or less think we know. What has happened to the party since, it turns out, is even more disturbing. That is the story Robert Draper tells here. Through hisextraordinarily intrepid reporting on the ground across the country, Draper chronicles the road from January 6th to the 2022 midterms among the Republican base and in the US Congress, as Marjorie Taylor Greene and her ilk have come to shape their party'sterms of engagement to an extent that would have been unimaginable even ten years ago. He brings to life the efforts of a dwindling group of Republicans who are willing to push back against the falsehoods, in the face of a group of ascendent demagogues who are merrily weaponizing them. With a base whipped up into a perpetual frenzy of outrage by conspiracy theories-not just about "the big steal", but about COVID and vaccines, Antifa and BLM and George Soros and the Rothschilds and President Obama and onand on and on-the forces of reason within the GOP are on the defensive, to put it mildly. The leadership of the anti-Trump resistance among Republicans in Congress has cooperated extensively with the author; the book also benefits greatly from reporting conducted in Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, and other bellwether states in the country of the mind one might call Conspiracyland. Robert Draper has been a wise, fearless, and fair-minded chronicler of the American political scene for over 25 years. He has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. He has never seen it this ugly. Ultimately, this book tells the story of a fearful test of our ability, as a country, to hold together a system of government grounded in truth and the rule of law. It's difficult toimagine a book that could underscore the stakes of the 2022 midterm elections more powerfully"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Trump, Donald, $d 1946- $x Influence. 610 20 $a Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) $9 12547 650 0 $a Conspiracy theories $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Capitol Riot, Washington, D.C., 2021. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2021- 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Draper, Robert. $t Weapons of mass delusion $d New York : Penguin Press, 2022 $z 9780593300152 $w (DLC) 2022021742 941 $a 19 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010030735.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20230720012004.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20230628010037.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230616010121.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20230526011334.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20230404012510.0 952 $l AQPC277 $d 20230308010442.0 952 $l VEPB334 $d 20230225010121.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20230214011332.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210025036.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011752.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010229.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230124010151.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20221208011122.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221206012542.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20221203011108.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20221202012324.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20221202011711.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220816010221.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC98080E1D2811EDA31652FF20ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
