    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I had spent more than a year reassuring people around the world that Trump couldn’t win the presidency. But on a gray Sunday two days before the election, I entered the Berkeley Rep with twenty Stanford students to see the final performance of It Can’t Happen Here.

    #2 I knew that America was not a perfect democracy, but I did not think that it could possibly elect a president like Donald Trump. I was wrong.

    #3 Around the world, many countries were experiencing a democratic recession, and the United States was pulling back from vigorous global leadership. China and Russia were stepping in to fill the void.

    #4 While it is obvious that democracy is not perfect, and can even fail, you cannot have freedom without it. Without constitutional constraints on power, there is only a republic of fear.
