Overview
"I don't take responsibility at all." Those words
of Donald Trump at a March 13, 2020, press conference are likely to be
history's epitaph on his presidency.
A huge swath of Americans has put their faith in Trump, and
Trump only, because they see the rest of the country building a future that
doesn’t have a place for them.
If they would risk their lives for Trump in a pandemic, they
will certainly risk the stability of American democracy. They brought the
Trumpocalypse upon the country, and a post-Trumpocalypse country will have to
find a way either to reconcile them to democracy - or to protect democracy from
them.
In Trumpocalypse, David Frum looks at what happens when a
third of the electorate refuses to abandon Donald Trump, no matter what he
does. Those voters aren’t looking for policy wins. They’re seeking cultural
revenge.
It is not enough to defeat Donald Trump on election day
2020. Even if Trump peacefully departs office, the trauma he inflicted will
distort American and world politics for years to come. Americans must start
from where they are, build from what they have, to repair the damage Trump
inflicted on the country, to amend the wrongs that, under Trump, they inflicted
upon each other.
Americans can do better. David Frum shows how—and inspires
all readers of all points of view to believe again in the possibilities of
American life. Trumpocalypse is both a warning of danger and a guide to reform
that will be read and discussed for years to come.
