I felt the author was arrogant and overstated his knowledge and qualifications, but if even half of what he said in this book is true, we're in trouble.

This book is kind of marketed to be a telling of the January 6th Insurrection and it is a little bit, but it's more a discussion on white supremacy groups and their history. It was very enlightening learning about Qanon and the other white power groups and conspiracies. They're much more influential than one thinks. The author is extremely dramatic and it was distracting. Yes, they were discussing dark and threatening topics, and yes it's true that its ridiculous and scary that these groups are allowed and celebrated. But the author wasn't grounded or firm or sophisticated, he instead gave off a petty, political vibe that came off more doomsday and fire and brimstone.

Malcolm Nance draws clear lines connecting the cult of Trumpism to white supremacy, the death/infiltration of the Republican party, conspiracy theory fanaticism, and the obvious threat to American democracy. He uses details of the Jan 6 insurrection as a jumping off point to posit that the threat to democracy wasn't thwarted with the attack on the Capitol but rather, it was just a step toward the US facing a full blown insurgency growing in the neo-nazi, right wing extremist, and QAnon whack jobs who have fallen for the white supremacy, pro fascist dog whistling that's become more and more ingrained in American politics.

It's alarming but not alarmist. It's unsettling but not surprising.

The Q-anon expose is mind blowing!

I thought this was going to have a lot more information on what happened during the January 6th attacks, but it was ended up being more of a fear-mongering book about the 2022 elections, and most of what was predicted didn’t actually happen. I expected more from this author.
