From the review: "A significant challenge to thinking clearly about politics over the past decade has simply been that things have gotten extremely weird. Not only did a real estate mogul and reality-show star win the presidency twice and take over one of two parties in the most powerful nation on earth, but the fringes of his winning coalition also expanded, the second time around, beyond far-right Christian evangelicals and very-online white supremacists to include Silicon Valley tech-industry billionaires who readily concede they are building machines with a non-negligible chance of wiping out the human race.
"And that’s just in the United States, which may reside at the leading edge of the weirdness but is hardly alone in succumbing to it.
"The greatest virtue of “End Times Fascism,” a dive into our current political miasma, is that its authors do the work of synthesizing all of this and more with ambition and elegance, giving us a comprehensive interpretation of What It All Means, Why It’s Happening and How We Should Respond. If I’m not entirely persuaded by their analysis and proposed solutions, their effort is nonetheless among the more cogent I’ve seen."
