This book collects Mudde's blog posts, interviews and op-eds on the US far right. The main emphasis of the book is on the two most important far right developments of the 21st century, the Tea Party and Donald Trump. Aimed at a non-academic audience, the book explains terminology, key terms and their relationship to (liberal) democracy.
