Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America

Author of the popular newsletter, Letters from an American, Richardson's new book "Democracy Awakening" explains how a small group of wealthy people have made war on American ideals, leading us down a dangerous path to authoritarianism. By weaponizing language and promoting a false history, they have created a disaffected population and promised to recreate an imagined past. Richardson argues that taking our country back starts by remembering the elements of the nation’s true history – what has sustained our democracy in the past can be a roadmap for our future.
