What Were We Thinking: A Brief Intellectual History of the Trump Era - Carlos Lozada
Shared by:hdgdf
The Washington Post ’s Pulitzer Prize–winning book critic uses the books of the Trump era to argue that our response to this presidency reflects the same failures of imagination that made it possible.
As a book critic for The Washington Post, Carlos Lozada has read some 150 volumes claiming to diagnose why Trump was elected and what his presidency reveals about our nation. Many of these, he’s found, are more defensive than incisive, more righteous than right.
In What Were We Thinking, Lozada uses these books to tell the story of how we understand ourselves in the Trump era, using as his main characters the political ideas and debates at play in America today. He dissects works on the white working class like Hillbilly Elegy; manifestos from the anti-Trump resistance like On Tyranny and No Is Not Enough; books on race, gender, and identity like How to Be an Antiracist and Good and Mad; polemics on the future of the conservative movement like The Corrosion of Conservatism; and of course plenty of books about Trump himself.
Lozada’s argument is provocative: that many of these books—whether written by liberals or conservatives, activists or academics, Trump’s true believers or his harshest critics—are vulnerable to the same blind spots, resentments, and failures that gave us his presidency. But Lozada also highlights the books that succeed in illuminating how America is changing in the 21st century. What Were We Thinking is an intellectual history of the Trump era in real time, helping us transcend the battles of the moment and see ourselves for who we really are.

Donald Trump taught that you should always follow the crowd to do evil. It has always been a popular mantra, and for TFG it was a roaring success.
Some folk say that makes him a political genius; but the Churches have been selling that oil for millennia.

This book must be full of intelligent takes. Intellectual is in the title.

why do people in the UK think this is their issue too.
You people have destroyed your own country, leave ours alone. You don’t matter and you’re not going to matter again any time soon.
Get your house in order before you start wining about others

we were thinking “How dare a black guy be President ? And now they want a woman to be President ? Give me that guy off of the TV instead…”

Maybe people in the UK remember how the US has gotten involved in almost every country, almost every time they could.

That bastard Trump opened up the southern border, enabling MASS child rape.
He also called for, and supported, the mass media to mass censor all his enemies, and to also de-bank them, and to also UTTERLY RUIN the lives of their families.
He also started several new wars; and he left enormous quantities of military equipment for terrorists to use.
He also supported the Queer Groomer movement; especially for the youngest in government schools.
Oh. Wait.

LOL As if the Trump Era is over …

@avatarofshadow - exactly what I was thinking. The US has been guilty of more overseas interventions in the last 70 years than the rest of the world combined.

well when you guys vote for a putin/kim/bolsanaro lover, it affects everyone in the world! We are all on a rock together, and so anyone can have there opinion.
If Trump ends USA support for NATO, Putin will pat him on the back. And with the way Putin is, he will want a slice of the USA too…just like hitler nearly got once. So maybe thats why other people fret over who may become in the Whitehouse. America isnt planet earth, others live here too!
Anyway hes just a buisnesman cult leader thats got a lot of folk fooled.
And if he gets in again, the rest of the world should boycott USA.
Or maybe you will boycott yourselves, and have that civil war that your all wanting!

@NukerRabbit: You urgently need to seek psychiatric help.

A Soros paid slave pumping out bilge, lies, propaganda and BS.
Charlie’s ideas seem to have been plagiarized from bits and pieces from other people’s work. (Shades of Claudine Gay) Unoriginal, not even hackneyed worthy

If George Soros paid for everything you people accuse him of paying for, he’d have been flat broke long ago.

Apollo is the most doctrinaire, boilerplate-spouting, unoriginal booklicking dullard on this site. There are many here who are worse than him, but none as boring.
He’s either a 90 year old man without the use of his legs or an early AI triumph.

@NukerRabbit: all the things you list that actually happened, Trump really did do. The others are just Qanon fairy tales.
The rule is, everything they baselessly accuse Biden of, Trump actually did, a hundred ties worse, and it can be proved.
E.g. recent proof that Trump took over $5 million from China, while he was president.

“The Washington Post” tells me everything I need to know.

That’s all I needed to hear. Compost.
