Jared Yates Sexton (find him on Twitter and check out his writing!) returns with fire and compelling insights into what has been happening over the past three years, especially in terms of Donald Trump and the people who helped elect him. His brilliant book, The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore: A Story of American Rage, is a essential reading for anyone who cares about our country and it’s democracy. Jared is one of the great voices of truth in clarity in America. What a treasure to have him grace us with this extended and deep discussion.
