6. Also... Conservatives Without Conscience by John Dean

It's amazing.

Written by Republican and Nixon's White House Council during Watergate... John Dean. It's based on his discussions with Barry Goldwater about how the GOP was changing into an authoritarian party based in part on their observations about the evangelical influence.

It describes right wing authoriarianism in great detail helped shape my understanding of everything that's been happening over the last 4-5 years.

It's shocking to consider that if was not inspired by Trumpism, but written in 2006 based on fears about Bush and Cheney. That's how radicalized we have become.

Republicans were inspired to write a book about the dangers of Republicans... a decade before Trump.
