Overview

In this critical study of the present threat to American Democracy from the legacy of the Trump Presidency and the violent insurrection at America's Capitol on January 6, 2021, filmmaker Mark Sobel takes us on a journey that spans the ongoing influence of Trumpism in America, and considers possible steps to assure the survival of democracy in the United States. This collection of author essays calls out the former President's unrelenting lies and racist speeches, looking at how they influenced the thinking of a large percentage of American voters. The work examines the dangers posed by Trump's party in its ongoing efforts to rewrite history, and suggests that without immediate creation of a new opposition party the United States could find herself at the end of an almost 250-year experiment in democratic government. Additional topics range from how the world regards the separation of migrant children from their parents under International Law, to Wall Street's alleged subversion of the legislation by Congress to save the homes of 4 million American families during the Great Recession, to how the economic system might be made more fair for all Americans. From the book: The creation of an alternative to the Trumpist Republican Party must be pursued immediately. While clearly this will be a long-term proposition to complete, even at startup this party could have the ability to field just enough candidates in the 2022 elections to deny control to Trumpists. In fact, there might be some moderate ex-Republican legislators who have been sitting on the sidelines since 2018 who would be able to give the Trumpists a run for their money if they were candidates of a legitimate, organized, moderate-right conservative party. A coalition in Congress between the Democratic Party and the new Moderate Conservative Party could pass the needed bills in support of democracy that would make a totalitarian insurrection in 2024 far less likely. But the effort must be immediate. The author is a Los Angeles based independent filmmaker and a director of numerous movies for Network and Cable television.
