Dissenting from Donald Trump While Listening to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"

Democracy now exists in a state of precarity. The anti-democratic swing in America’s mood has been orchestrated by President Donald Trump. He has used demagoguery, a false populism, fear, and a spirit of resentment and revenge to enthrall the masses. His excessive rhetoric has divided and angered the nation. The essays in this book dissent from Trump – his rhetoric, his actions, his lies, his deceptions, and his lack of respect for the rule of law. All the negative descriptions of President Trump can be summarized in one theological term: Evil. His actions are those of a person who is the incarnation of evil. My protests have now continued for more than nine years. Democracy can’t survive without dissent. This is a book of dissent.
