Berger, author of <em>Extremism</em></p><p><strong>"Excellent ... powerfully exposes the drivers behind today's most dangerous anti-democracy movements. An essential </strong><strong>read for those who value liberal democracy as we know it" </strong>Julia Ebner, author of <em>Going Mainstream</em></p><p>The MAGA movement was in retreat after Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, but the fascist fringes have not just survived, they continue to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6 Capitol riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem.</p><p>In this chilling exposé of the far right, Mike Wendling encounters Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, Capitol rioters, and Proud Boys, uncovering the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.</p><p>Trump's base in the GOP is committed to their candidate like never before. Apocalyptic messaging ensures that white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle, and they are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on.</p><p><strong>Mike Wendling</strong> is US National Digital Reporter for the BBC, based in Chicago.
