Since our dog ha had plenty of energy when I get home from work, I have had chance to read…er…listen to audiobooks more recently, and I have been on a kick on trying to decipher on how the GOP had gone from a somewhat sane center-right party to the party of crazies that it is in 2024. Some of these well written books include:
The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory by Tim Alberta (2023) - This book is written by the son of an evangelical minister who wrote about his experiences with the religious movements in the age of MAGA.
Tired of Winning by Jonathan Karl (2023) - the effect of Trumpism on the GOP and elections post January 6.
The Conspiracy to End America by Stuart Stevens (2023) - Written by a former GOP media campaign operative who work multiple winning GOP presidential campaigns, this book takes a look on how the Republican party has gone from functioning center-right political party to that of one espousing many tenants of autocracy.
Finally….the book I just started is Network of Lies by Brian Stelter (2023) - How Fox News and the Trumpist GOP fed off one another.
If you have a chance to get a digital library card, it can be a great (usually free) way to increase access to reading material. Many libraries have a link to libby, which gives access to more than 100k titles.
