There is nothing more important than beating Donald Trump in 2020, but defeating Trump is just the start of this timely book. Un-Trumping America offers readers three critical insights: first, Trump is not an aberration, but rather the logical extension of the modern Republican Party; second, how Democrats can defeat Trump in 2020; and third, preventing the likes of Trump from ever happening again with a plan to fix democracy. While the catalog of the president's crimes is long and growing, undoing Trumpism--the political platform of racism, authoritarianism, and plutocracy that gave rise to Trump and defines the Republican Party--is a long and continuing fight. Through a craven, cynical strategy engineered by Mitch McConnell, funded by the Kochs, and fueled by Fox News propaganda, Republicans have rigged American politics to drown out the voices of the people in favor of the powerful. Without an aggressive response that recognizes who the Republicans are and what they have done, American democracy as we know it won't survive this moment and a conservative, shrinking, mostly white minority will govern the country for decades. Un-Trumping America dismantles toxic Trumpism and offers a way forward. Dan Pfeiffer worked for nearly twenty years at the center of Democratic politics, from the campaign trail to Capitol Hill to Barack Obama's White House. But it was Trump's victory and Republicans' incessant aiding and abetting of Trumpism that has radicalized his thinking. Here, Pfeiffer urges Democrats to embrace bold solutions--from fixing the courts to abolishing the electoral college to eliminating the filibuster--in order to make America more democratic (and Democratic). Un-Trumping America is a powerful call for Democrats and progressives to get smarter, tougher, and more aggressive without becoming a paler shade of orange"--Dust jacket flap. 600 10 Trump, Donald, |d1946- |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n85387872 650 0 Political culture |zUnited States |xHistory |y21st century. 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Civics & Citizenship. |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Commentary & Opinion. |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Parties. |2bisacsh 651 0 United States |xPolitics and government |y2017-. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2017000457 902 mwc |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20200701 914 (OCoLC)on1139320924 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20230125 |eprocessed |f1139320924 980 |i28.00 |j19.60 |n2860056 982 |bFY20 |n2020 |q32101110715065 986 |hE912 |i.P46 2020
