Description: Chaos Comes Calling : The Battle Against the Far-right Takeover of Small-town America, Hardcover by Abramsky, Sasha, ISBN 1645030431, ISBN-13 9781645030430, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "Donald Trump's November 2015 electoral victory was, to many, ominously validated by four years of demagogy, presidential name-calling, and-ten months into a pandemic-an incitement to violence that led a mob of thousands to descend on the Capitol in Washington, DC.
