The book was discussed as a crucial warning about the potential fracturing of democracy, outlining scenarios for how a Second Civil War could start. Despite initial hesitation about adding another book about the Trump era, the host found himself haunted by the scenarios presented regarding civil conflict.
And they are out with a new book, The Big Truth, Upholding Democracy in the Age of the Big Lie.
Do we need another another fucking book about the Trump era? Do we need another book about this? But I will tell you that I am haunted by your book of all the books that I have read.
I find myself thinking about the scenarios you lay out how a Second Civil War could start.
in the introduction to our book we quote someone who has experience with what a Civil War actually looks like in the modern era Northern Ireland, Fenino Tull, who wrote in The Atlantic and we took that very seriously.
The book opens with a warning. We say very clearly and there's been some chatter on social media that we're fanboying civil war violence which is completely ludicrous.
