NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From an award-winning journalist at The Atlantic, these searing essays make a damning case that cruelty is not merely an unfortunate byproduct of the Trump administration but its main objective and the central theme of the American project. “No writer better demonstrates how American dreams are so often sabotaged by American history. Adam Serwer is essential.”—Ta-Nehisi Coates “Trump summoned the most treacherous forces in American history and conducted them with the ease of a grand maestro.”Like many of us, Adam Serwer didn’t know that Donald Trump would win the 2016 election. But over the four years that followed, the Atlantic staff writer became one of our most astute analysts of the Trump presidency and the volatile powers it harnessed. The shock that greeted Trump’s victory, and the subsequent cruelty of his presidency, represented a failure to confront elements of the American past long thought vanquished. In this searing collection, Serwer chronicles the Trump administration not as an aberration but as an outgrowth of the inequalities the United States was founded on. Serwer is less interested in the presidential spectacle than in the ideological and structural currents behind Trump’s rise—including a media that was often blindsided by the ugly realities of what the administration represented and how it came to be. While deeply engaged with the moment, Serwer’s writing is also haunted by ghosts of an unresolved American past, a past that torments the present. In bracing new essays and previously published works, he explores white nationalism, myths about migration, the political power of police unions, and the many faces of anti-Semitism. For all the dynamics he examines, cruelty is the glue, the binding agent of a movement fueled by fear and exclusion. Serwer argues that rather than pretending these four years didn’t happen or dismissing them as a brief moment of madness, we must face what made them possible. Without acknowledging and confronting these toxic legacies, the fragile dream of American multiracial democracy will remain vulnerable to another ambitious demagogue.

At this time of writing, The Ebook The Cruelty Is the Point: The Past, Present, and Future of Trump's America has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Ebook is Good TO READ!

In Adam Serwer’s updated essay collection, with new introductory material to give essays he wrote addressing Trumpism more context, the central argument is that what fuels Trumpism is not conservative principles, lower taxes, fewer restrictions, less government, or a “rigged system” leading to the 2008 Financial Crisis. No, what animates Trumpism is cruelty, more specifically owning one’s cultural enemies in a culture war that is dividing America. This culture war is seen by both sides as a zero-sum game. Adherents of Trumpism reject the conventional GOP as a bunch of wimps who don’t know how to fight the culture war. In contrast, Trump is a hero of cruelty, an unleashed warrior who will fight against the atrocities of Obama and everything Obama represents.In the eyes of Trumpists, Obama is more than just a man. He is a symbol of a diverse America coming to take away white dominance. Serwer makes Obama analogous to Reconstruction, the time after the Civil War when Americans offered black people a place at the table and this reaching out to black people was met with great hostility by many whites with such force that a counter force, called Redemption and The Lost Cause, erased the true redemption of offering black people a just place in American society.In other words, Serwer is arguing that Trumpism is part of America’s original sin, the impulse for white domination and white nationalism.It doesn’t matter that Trump is a “thrice-married libertine” or that he stood in Helsinki with Putin and took sides with Putin over American intelligence or called white supremacists “very good people.” What matters is that Trump unleashes the white hate and resentment against perceived enemies: immigrants, Mexicans, Muslims, the media, LGBTQ in the military, and anyone else who’s not on board with white nationalism.Serwer doesn’t just trace Trumpism to Jim Crow from over a hundred years ago. He looks to the Louisiana senate race in 1990 in which 60% of the state’s white people, many in the middle class, voted for Klansman David Duke.Trump could see white nationalism and its growing hostility in the face of Obama as he studied the racist dog whistles on Fox News and being a great student of the Fox News talking points, he saw that he could use white nationalist demagoguery and cruelty to win the votes of America’s white voters, and he did indeed.Serwer rejects the argument, widely presented in the media, that Trumpism was a reaction to economic suffering. No, it was white nationalism, argues Serwer.Serwer’s argument is largely persuasive. Clearly, he makes a strong case that white nationalism feeds much of Trumpism. I would differ only slightly by arguing that white nationalism combined with globalization, the social media-fed conspiracy fever swamp, the city and rural cultural divide, and economic uncertainty fuel Trumpism. In other words, I wouldn’t reduce Trumpism to one force, but I would agree that white nationalism is the main force and that Serwer provides invaluable analysis and narrative of a time that must never be forgotten in American history.
