Radical Betrayal - How Liberals & Neoconservatives Are Wrecking American Exceptionalism

"For many, the election of Donald Trump in 2016 was a dream come true. Millions saw him as a redeemer destined to make America great again. For others, his election came as a shock and established forces and institutions immediately began to conspire to wreck his presidency. Now, years after leaving the White House, the frenzy to lock Trump up is turning the U.S. into a banana republic. How can a single event provoke such strong reactions and dangerous outcomes? This book goes beyond the banalities of Trump haters, media bias, and academic prejudice to explain this phenomenon and answer underlying questions. It shows that to understand modern America, we must recall what the Founding Fathers wanted the country to become and compare it with what it has become. In detail, this book identifies the origin of American Exceptionalism and tracks its role in the nation's rise from a handful of breakaway colonies to a superpower surpassing the Roman Empire in wealth and influence. It also shows how America's greatness is crumbling as the Founders' vision has been corrupted by forces on both the left and the right."--Provided by publisher.
