More a narrative than a guide

2 stars

Walks us through the transgressions and moral hazard of the Trump presidency. Less of a guide for dealing with things than it is a clear-eyed and righteously outraged enumeration of Tump's assault on facts and institutions, and the absolute inability & failure of establishment figures to resist this onslaught.

Surviving Autocracy by Masha Gessen

3 stars

Short, fast read in which the author discusses many examples of how Trump's autocratic and fascistic impulses played out in his actions & words as well as the toadies around him. You heard about these things when he did them; Gessen discusses them in the context of the would-be autocrat's intent & desired effects.
