It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump by Stuart Stevens

4.0

Interesting and sad read, this. Stuart Stevens, longtime political consultant for the Republican party, writes his "I didn't leave the party, the party left me" tale:

This was my tribe. I did not think them perfect; no man may be a hero to his valet or political consultant. I never pretended to see even glimmers of greatness in most of them, but I did hold out for an assumption of decency. They have proven me wrong, and the sadness I feel is difficult to express.

Main takeaway is that Republicans won't give up their authoritarian racist ways until they start losing elections. Let's see what happens.
