Description

Donald Trump's lies and fabrications have a peculiar effect on America - they enthrall us. In "Gaslighting America", Amanda Carpenter reveals how this phenomenon works, tracing its roots in previous politicians like Nixon and Clinton, to the current president. Carpenter explains why some people see Trump's false narratives as a commitment to winning at all costs, rather than lies meant to deceive. She also describes how his opponents often fall into the same trap, perpetuating conspiracy theories that actually helped raise him up. As someone who witnessed her own party succumb to these tactics, Carpenter argues that "Gaslighting America" may be the only hope to bring them back to reality. This book offers a timely analysis of Trump's formula for success and how to withstand its effects.
