Donald Trump ha ricostruito a propria immagine il Partito repubblicano lanciando un movimento popolare eterogeneo con il cappellino rosso MAGA in testa, grazie alle sue doti carismatiche e sfruttando risentimenti e complotti. La razionalità del discorso politico non gli appartiene, anzi, ha fatto dell'anti-intellettualismo una bandiera. Dietro l'apparente caos del Trump-pensiero, però, si è aggregato un movimento molto più strutturato di quanto si creda: una galassia di intellettuali, attivisti e politici che ha elaborato una critica radicale alla democrazia liberale americana.

And why do they pull off victories even in communities where conservative values run deep? The answer is simple: The Left organizes.

California stands at a crossroads. The world’s fourth-largest economy has become defined by homelessness, wildfires, unaffordable housing, and political dysfunction—stories that overshadow the beauty, resilience, and promise Californians know to be true.

Jon Henderson blends economic logic, practical solutions, and the lived experience of a native Californian to offer ideas only an independent can propose. 

Nothing could be more partisan or political today as the issue of whether President Donald Trump could or should serve a third term. Most Americans are convinced that the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution categorically prohibits a two-term president from serving a third term. Professor Alan Dershowitz provides objective, nonpartisan, and astute constitutional analysis that not only challenges this belief but lays out exactly how Trump could become the forty-eighth president of the United States.

Il libro che ha rivelato al mondo l'anima profonda dell'America. I nonni di J.D. sono sporchi, poveri e innamorati quando emigrano giovanissimi dalle regioni dei monti Appalachi verso l’Ohio nella speranza di una vita migliore. Ma quel sogno di benessere e riscatto è solo sfiorato, perché prima di diventare uomo il loro nipote lotterà a lungo con la miseria e la violenza domestica: una madre tossicodipendente, patrigni nullafacenti che si susseguono uno dopo l’altro, vicini di casa alcolisti capaci solamente di sopravvivere con i sussidi e lamentarsi del governo.

Die eindringliche und bewegende Autobiographie eines furchtlosen Oppositionsführers, der den höchsten Preis für seine Überzeugungen zahlen musste. Nawalny begann mit der Arbeit an PATRIOT im Jahr 2020, kurz nach dem Giftanschlag auf ihn. Es ist die umfassende Geschichte seines Lebens: seine Jugend, seine Berufung zum Aktivisten, seine Ehe und Familie sowie sein Einsatz für Demokratie und Freiheit in Russland angesichts einer Supermacht, die ihn unbedingt zum Schweigen bringen will. PATRIOT zeigt Nawalnys absolute Überzeugung: Der Wandel ist nicht aufzuhalten. Er wird kommen.
