'Mike Wendling reaches parts of the rabbit hole few other reporters venture down. He is an invaluable guide to the forces of American conspiracy theory that are currently bending our world out of shape.'Gabriel Gatehouse, presenter of The Coming Storm on BBC Radio 4
'A vivid and sobering look of the web of connections that link the furthest reaches of the far right to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. Day of Reckoning is a stark warning about extremists on the march, seeking to consolidate their power, and how far they have already advanced.'J.M. Berger, author of Extremism
'An excellent piece of frontline reporting that gives its readers goosebumps. Mike Wendling powerfully exposes the drivers behind today's most dangerous anti-democracy movements. An essential read for those who value liberal democracy as we know it.'Julia Ebner, author of Going Mainstream: How Extremists Are Taking Over
The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country-with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power-a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem.
Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on-guaranteeing another chaotic election.
In this chilling exposé, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.
