How the Right Lost Its Mind

Note: I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I found this to be a fascinating book. I wasn't previously familiar with the author, and have never called myself a conservative. I've also been horrified by the vitriol evidenced in the current political climate, and flummoxed by support for Trump by those who you think would know better.

What this book has done is provided more information and context for the changes in the American political climate over the years, the threats of creeping authoritarianism, and more of an underlying philosophy and rationale of conservatism. It speaks to the “need for that careful balancing of their opposition to both elitist autocracy and populist demagoguery”.

Highly recommended, to conservatives, liberals, moderates, and anyone with any interest at all in the current American political climate.
