The Corrosion of Conservatism: Why I Left the Right by Max Boot
5.0
Max Boot, a #NeverTrumper, makes his case that conservatism and the Republican party not only are no longer a viable option for people who appreciate democracy and empathy, but that for a long time there's been an undercurrent of xenophobia, misogyny and racism that's recently become more apparent.
Boot tells his story of immigration to the US and then his buy-in to Reagan's Republican party. He tracks his rise in the party, and then finally his dissolution with the Republicans and what now sees, with the advantage of a step back, as the party's current state as inevitable.
This is a great read from someone who admits his mistakes and explains the mindset of those still in the party. No longer a Republican, and not a Democrat, he stands in the middle, hoping for a new direction.
