Summary "A scathing history of twenty-five years of Republican attempts to hold on to political power by any means necessary, by a hugely popular Washington Post political columnist"-- Provided by publisher.
In 1994 Republican congressman Newt Gingrich stood outside the U.S. Capitol to sign the "Contract with America" and put bi-partisanship on notice. A quarter century later, a bloodthirsty mob incited by President Donald J. Trump invaded the Capitol building. Milbank sees a clear line between the "Contract" and the coup attempt. Here he shows how the Republican Party has been hacking at the foundations of civil society for decades-- and imperiling the world's oldest democracy. Antidemocratic forces in the GOP still thrive, setting neighbor against neighbor in a modern-day Stasi state. In taking a look back, Milbank foresees a dark road ahead. - adapted from jacket
