Summary
An engaging and reflective look at how austerity and the billionaire class paved the way for Trump’s presidency, the rise of the “alt-right”, and the caging of migrant children and adults in detention centers across the country
For all of the energy that the far right has demonstrated - and for all of the support that they receive from institutional conservatives in the GOP and affiliated organizations - the United States is experiencing an upsurge in left-wing social movements unlike any other in the past half-century, with roots not in the Democratic Party but Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter.
Drawing on his original reporting as well as archival research, O’Connor investigates how the capitalist class and the radical right mobilize racism to defend their interests, while focusing on one of the most pressing issues of our time: immigration.

Insightful analysis of our current political climate
There’s a lot to like in this book. The author has done extensive research and you’ll probably learn something new listening. Also it will show you how seemingly unconnected things work together.
That said, the author veers all over the place in this book. There’s times when the author just switches topic many times during a chapter with nothing interesting put together from all these nonsensical tangents.
Yet a cohesive deep understanding of our current climate is still brought out by this book, and read by a compelling a narrative.
