People weren‘t willing to see the truth the last time we fought for it. This time, I think, as I shake out my newly short hair, colored with streaks of bright red and white, I am going to make the truth impossible for them to ignore.

A book explaining what the white house is, like who lives there, what the Oval Office is, and White House traditions. It would be good to build civic knowledge in young grades!

Step 2 in my newfound righteous journey: To refresh my general knowledge of American government. Conrad‘s book is nonpartisan as advertised. It goes not only through inner government workings but the topics that were big at the time it was published in 2008 (surprise! they haven‘t changed much). Still, a bit outdated.

The Great Courses are fantastic and in depth. Prof. Victor‘s course is nonpartisan and mentions Trump, so is very recent.

Suet624 I‘m appreciative that you‘re reading this material. It should be a required subject in high school. 2mo

If you have an interest in how our government has become so entrenched in our economy and eroded our private rights, this is your book. It is eye opening to see how they've done it and how so many went along.

How Democracies Die | Steven Levitsky, Daniel Ziblatt

This book feels like old news now, but still so important to read. The authors lay out the warnings of a democracy in crisis, and all the moves to power that authoritarians make: Trump met (and continues to meet) each one of them. They discuss how these events unfolded in other countries, America‘s political history, and why democracy is so fragile. Voting and institutions alone will not save us. Highly recommend.
