Quick run through of fairly recent past history of rw extremism in US. I remember Goldwater’s campaign so much of this was a refresher through the administrations up to now. There were parts I’d never learned about Iran Contra that now I have to seek out another book as it was a terrific scandal but RR skated above it all. It’s ironic that since at least 1930s ppl have been so paranoid about The Left while it’s only Democratic presidents who are held to account or standards, & have to do cleanup of messes left by GOP. Esp ironic as DJT just won reelection against an establishment that is very conservative. Yet as author notes that’s not enough now. Now it’s (counter)revolution burn it all down. Def worth the read
