Twenty-five years later, on January 6, 2021, a bloodthirsty mob incited by President Trump invaded the Capitol.\n\nDana Milbank sees a clear line from the Contract with America to the coup attempt. In the quarter century in between, Americans have witnessed the crackup of the party of Lincoln and Reagan, to its current iteration as a haven for white supremacists, political violence, conspiracy theories and authoritarianism.\n\nFollowing the questionable careers of party heavyweights Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, and Rudy Giuliani, and those of many lesser known lowlights, Milbank recounts the shocking lengths the Republican Party has gone to to maintain its grip on the American people.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0385548133\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0385548133.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Milbank, Dana\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
