New York Times Bestseller How far are Americans willing to go to
force each other to fall in line? According to the establishment
media, the intelligentsia, and our political chattering class, the
greatest threat to American freedom lies in right-wing
authoritarianism. We've heard that some 75 million Americans who
voted for Donald Trump represent the rise of American fascism; that
conservatives have allowed authoritarianism to bloom in their
midst, creating a grave danger for the republic. But what if the
true authoritarian threat to America doesn't come from the
political right, but from the supposedly anti-fascist left? There
are certainly totalitarians on the political right. But
statistically, they represent a fringe movement with little
institutional clout. The authoritarian left, meanwhile, is
ascendant in nearly every area of American life. A small number of
leftists-college-educated, coastal, and uncompromising-have not
just taken over the Democratic Party but our corporations, our
universities, our scientific establishment, our cultural
institutions. And they have used their newfound power to silence
their opposition. The authoritarian Left is aggressively insistent
that everyone must conform to its values, demanding submission and
conformity. The dogmatic Left is obsessed with putting people in
categories and changing human nature. Everyone who opposes it must
be destroyed. Ben Shapiro looks at everything from pop culture to
the Frankfurt school, social media to the Founding Fathers, to
explain the origins of our turn to tyranny, and why so many seem
blind to it. More than a catalog of bad actors and intemperate
acts, The Authoritarian Moment lays bare the intolerance and
rigidity creeping into all American ideology - and prescribes the
solution to ending the authoritarianism that threatens our future.
