What’s at Stake: Recently when I began editing articles and books into a new Anthology on Trump and Fascism, I realized my Anthology on “Trump’s Insurrection” constituted a first Trump-Fascism Anthology. Among the lessons of these anthologies are how fragile is our “democracy” and how long and how emphatically we have been warned.
OMNI: INSURRECTION ANTHOLOGY January 2, 2022, go to https://jamesrichardbennett.blogspot.com/2022/01/omni-insurrection-anthology-january-2.html
This anthology gathers articles, books, and films that indict Trump for attempting to foment an insurrection and in many other ways to replace our democracy with autocracy. The collection begins with the PBS Frontline/ProPublica documentary, American Insurrection, includes special attention to Costa and Woodward’s book Peril, and ends with American Nero: The History of the Destruction of the Rule of Law, and Why Trump Is the Worst Offender by Richard Painter and Peter Golenbock and my recommendation of Benjamin Hett’s The Death of Democracy on Weimar’s Nazification in 3 years.
