المدمرون: إنهيار الحزب الجمهوري الذي دام 25 سنة

' A New York Times bestseller • A detailed twenty-five-year history of Republicans' attempts to cling to political power by any means possible, by a popular Washington Post political columnist. In 1994, more than 300 Republicans, led by obstructionist and seditious Congressman Newt Gingrich, stood in front of the US Capitol to sign the “Contract with America” and declare their rejection of bipartisanship. Twenty-five years later, on January 6, 2021, a bloodthirsty mob, incited by President Trump, stormed the Capitol. Dana Milbank sees a clear connection between the Contract with America and the attempted coup. During the quarter-century that passed between them, Americans witnessed the collapse of the party of Lincoln and Reagan, down to its current image as a haven for white supremacists, political violence, conspiracy theories, and tyranny. After reviewing the questionable careers of such party luminaries as Newt Gingrich, Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, and Rudolph Giuliani, as well as many lesser-known figures, Milbank recounts the shocking lengths to which the Republican Party has gone to maintain its grip on the American people.
