"An objective and unbiased tour of the New Right that elected Donald Trump--a movement many consider a mortal threat to our democracy. In 2016, a diverse faction of conservatives, united by fierce nationalism, populism, and an acute distaste for progressivism, rallied behind a crass New York real estate mogul who had never held elected office. Thanks to the outspoken support and technical savvy of this New Right, Donald Trump bested 14 career politicians in the GOP primaries, overcame one of the most influential political machines in US history, and won the Presidency. Who are these people, where did they come from, and what do they believe? This movement did not emerge overnight; it has been quietly gathering momentum for decades. In The New Right, author Michael Malice tells its story, unveiling its prime movers and providing an unbiased view of its ideological roots, political ideas, and ambitions for the future"--… (meer)

As promised, this is an interesting journey to the fringe of American politics. I definitely learned a lot, but also felt like I was missing some crucial foundation in places. I hope the paperback edition of this book includes a "Further Reading" section in addition to the notes and index, since I think that would be helpful to other readers. Anyway, I only took half the red pill. Maybe I will take the other half once I do more reading on the subject. (

One of the best books about modern American politics, both the alt/new right and the “evangelical left” that it was a backlash against. Covers a pretty broad spectrum from Buchanan and Pinker to Cantwell and Jared Taylor. Always interesting when a Jewish writer is meeting with people who have made various degrees of anti Semitic statement and digs deeper to get specific about exactly what it means, etc.

Net result of the book was solidly reinforcing my dislike of democracy. Essentially all of the “identity politics”, racism, immigration restriction debates, etc cease to matter without democracy. His examples of LKY and Pinochet on the right are two excellent ones; another is the direct corporate and free market provision of services.

Interesting trips to various events, discussions with various people, etc. Overall a really entertaining and informative book. (
