How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them by Jason Stanley
4.0
This is a great starting place to get an analysis of how fascism is showing up in modern U.S. politics. This book contains a flyover of a lot of topics like traditional values, misinformation, conspiracy theories, sexual panic, racism and class dynamics. So much is covered here so not many of these topics received very much depth. I would have really liked more of a history of fascism to provide a greater context for how things have developed so drastically in the U.S. Definitely worth reading as a starting point and I will be looking for books that go a bit deeper into some of the things that were covered, especially the historical aspect.
