The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War 2023
The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War is a 2023 book about American politics written by Jeff Sharlet, who previously authored The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power. The book traces the growth of far-right ideology in the Republican Party during the Trump era, focusing on the Make America Great Again movement and what the author calls "militant Trumpism." He characterizes this phenomenon as fascist and white supremacist, noting its blending of religious belief and political action. For instance, he discusses how Ashli Babbitt was treated as a martyr within this context.
