Perhaps one of the greatest disadvantages of the anti-Trump views about Trumpism is that they start from the underestimating his followers as "deplorables" and irredeemable racists and ignoramuses. For those who still wonder why Trump won and why pollsters missed the wave that put him in the White House, Christopher Bedford wrote The Art of the Donald.
Bedford makes no apologies for being a Trump supporter. He just explains why in a way that anti-Trumpers may chose to ignore at their own peril.
On the other side of the spectrum Joshua Green's "Devil's Bargain" goes deeper into the "jacksonian" populism that Steve Bannon and Trump have successfully channeled to get to the White House.
Another must-read for those who don't want to trip twice on the same assumptions. Midterm elections are closer than they seem on the rear mirror.
