Former Democratic congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard chronicles her political awakening and departure from a party she no longer recognizes. Gabbard argues that today's Democrats have transformed into an elitist faction driven by what she calls woke ideology and racial hostility. As a veteran who served in uniform and took an oath to defend constitutional freedoms, she details how the party moved away from championing ordinary Americans against corporate interests and war. She contends the modern Democratic Party opposes religious believers, law enforcement, and border security while embracing a national security establishment that targets political enemies. Writing as an Independent, Gabbard challenges Americans who value their constitutional rights to recognize the threat she believes the Democratic Party now poses to fundamental liberties.
