How Democracies Die

I felt like the book title and opening promise a more generalized view of democracies throughout history and how they in general go but it became fairly US-centric shortly in and uses the world examples only as a cautionary tale for Americans. Other than that minor disappointment, I thought it was a good analysis of how US democracy has managed to succeed so far, how it has handled authoritarian advances in the past and how it is not well-equipped to handle it in the near future.

I didn't really take this as a Trump sucks book, but I am biased. I found it a study of Trump's election and why he succeeded why others have failed in the same kind of attempt.
