"From the founders of MeidasTouch, the independent news network that helped redefine how millions of people consume news, WTF America?! is an unflinching look at how the United States and the world arrived at this dangerous moment--with authoritarian movements gaining ground and democratic institutions under relentless attack--and, more importantly, how we can fight our way back and reclaim the future. They explain how Donald Trump is the product of a system decades in the making, fueled by powerful interests, weakened democratic institutions, and a media ecosystem that too often chose access and complicity over accountability. The book confronts the defining questions of our time: How did we get here? Why did so many institutions fail when they were needed most? And what must we do now to defend democracy before it is too late? ... WTF America?! examines a despicable era: Elon Musk's blood-red chainsaw, the buried Epstein Files, the violent occupation of Minneapolis, the constant squeeze on hard-working Americans. But beyond such atrociousness, the brothers provide a call to action and a roadmap for what comes next. They expose the forces driving democratic backsliding, reveal why independent journalism has never mattered more, and offer a hopeful vision for rebuilding trust, strengthening democratic institutions, and reminding readers that history is not written by authoritarians alone."
