A huge swath of Americans see the rest of the country building a future that doesn't have a place for them. It's no wonder they'd rather burn it all down. But the fire can be stopped by Americans who act now to protect their country and its democracy. President Trump has undermined America's democratic traditions. At every step, he was aided by Republicans who have given up on winning power the democratic way. Polls have repeatedly shown that about 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. In Trumpocalypse , David Frum looks at the causes of our tragic national fragmentation and lays out a plan to restore a democracy at home--and renew American leadership abroad. 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 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.

"In Trumpocalypse, David Frum cogently captures and clearly describes the state of our union in Donald Trump's America. But going beyond the hand wringing over a potential slide into autocracy, he offers a vision of how to put the country back on a footing that embraces the democracy we all strive for." - Rob Reiner
" Frum's prescriptions are more quirky and contrarian, an attempt to bridge the chasm that has emerged between right and left." - Financial Times
"David Frum has once again analyzed the Trump era as nobody else can. In Trumpocalypse, he imagines the end of that era and what comes after it. It is essential reading." - Benjamin Wittes, Senior Fellow and Research Director in Public Law, the Brookings Institution
"Frum's intellectual journey is what makes this book so fascinating. He can look at our current condition with fresh eyes, earned through humiliating experience. It is a humility to which the rest of us should aspire. . . . The solutions he proposes are bold and provocative, but not wild-eyed. . . . He has done something crucial: He has recognized that a new national conversation is coming, and, with Trumpocalypse, he has provided a thoughtful way to start it." - Joe Klein, New York Times Book Review
"David Frum makes an essential contribution to our understanding of the deep crisis our country now faces. He also does something even more important: with his trademark wit and analytical acuity, he shows us a way out of it. Not to be missed by anyone who believes (as we all must) that tomorrow may yet turn out to be better than today." - Yascha Mounk
"Trumpocalypse brilliantly shows why so many people have given up on our democracy, and outlines a path to restore their hope in this country. A riveting, un-put-downable read." - Alyssa Milano
"David Frum is one of the most articulate conservative thinkers in America, and Trumpocalypse is a must-read for all of us who are devoted to the ideals of American democracy. He reminds us that honest conservatives and honest liberals can still stand together." - Howard Dean
