First published 2018
Ann Coulter takes on the political establishment's reaction to Donald Trump's presidency. She examines how liberals abandoned their claims of being rational and cool-headed the moment Trump announced his campaign. Coulter argues that Democrats and their allies have manufactured constant crises around Trump's actions, treating routine Republican policies as existential threats to democracy. She points to the contrast between Trump's actual governance, which she describes as moderate Republican politics, and the extreme reactions from journalists, entertainers, athletes, and politicians who act as if fascism has arrived in America. The book dissects what Coulter calls "The Resistance," including protesters, Russia investigation supporters, alarmed media figures, and campus activists. She contends that these groups undermine democratic norms by refusing to accept election results and promoting conspiracy theories. Coulter suggests that the real damage to American institutions comes not from Trump but from the relentless attacks against his legitimacy.
