Absolute drivel. This is a nonsensical book review masquerading a political commentary (spoiler alert - the author didn't like the book). In political discourse, we call this a classic example of 'punching left' - select quotes are pulled from the book to try and show how the American left supposedly supports Trump-style populists (?), and there's not even an attempt to mask the slobbering over elite establishment figures. I'm embarrassed I read the entire thing - don't repeat my mistake.
