Overview

After an endless slew of best sellers dwelling upon the dastardly deeds of Donald Trump, at last an unvarnished look at the real threat we face as a nation when we complacently ignore evil that has hidden in plain sight for years. Whether you have sheltered in place to the left or to the right of the commendable gooey center of this ""American Life"", The Deplorables: America Interrupted will challenge your conception of the events occurring over the last five years that have brought us to this anxious moment in American history. Is Ignorance really bliss? Not if it edges you toward violent social anarchy. And not if it blinds you to an evil we thought was a relic of a racially inhospitable past but now threatens to overwhelm polite society again. As the author reminds us ""the Deplorables are not a collegial bunch. Like their de facto cult hero Donald Trump, they will respond to your misplaced passivism with a bare knuckles beat down. Left to their own devices, they will tear to ground every vestige of a civilized America."" Join the author Q for a sobering look at the events of the last several years and the implications for a bare knuckles brawl between Deplorables and Commendables that is just beginning over what actually makes America great. Laugh and cry at the comic and tragic dimensions of this dilemma. Re-live recent key events with an informed, attuned eye and ear. But, heed Q's warning about becoming complacent. There is nothing like a violent insurrection attempt and a Capitol riot to clarify the enemy's intentions. Read the Deplorables: America Interrupted.

A review by David Masciotra as published on the Daily Ripple Author of I am Somebody: why Jesse Jackson Matters and Melllencamp: American Troubadour The Deplorables: America Interrupted is an interesting and righteously indignant tour of the monstrous Trump base, and how exactly they threaten to transform the United States, a flawed multiracial democracy, into a neo-fascist state. How to restrain people who not only defend and encourage neo-Nazis, but aspire to destroy America's democratic system is currently the most vexing and troubling political project. The author never falls for the trap of right wing commentary and mainstream analysis by breaking out the world's smallest violin to depict Trump supporters as harmless and misguided proletariats. The author of The Deplorables never even entertains - and good on him for it - that the people chanting Send Her Back! and Build That Wall! are reincarnations of the Joad family. The author understands better than most media commentators, that the Trump cult and neo-fascist movement is about the preservation of white power, and the protection of America, according to their bigoted ideology, as a white, Christian and heterosexual nation. He accurately diagnosis the disease: This is not a collegial bunch. Like their de facto cult hero, they will respond to your misplaced passivism with a bare knuckles beat down. Left to their own devices, they will tear to ground every vestige of a civilized America. As if there were any room for doubt, the attempted coup d'etat of January 6th, and the subsequent assault on the American electoral system, with massive voter suppression laws and the Trump-led attempt for partisan officials to take command of state and county election offices, confirm the harsh, but correct assessment of the author. It is unclear if American democracy will survive the right wing assault. The author of The Deplorables: America Interrupted has made a valuable contribution to the democratic-preservation effort.

Author Information

While the anonymous author Q remains anonymous for now, he urges readers to think of him as a satirical metaphor describing a world which has become ambiguous and largely convoluted in an age of conditional truth. Today, everything that is can be everything that isn't in a world curated especially for us. For Q the medium is the message, and this will surely impact how you process his account of the events of our time.
