"Vital and indispensable . . . [Draper's] rigorous reporting adds an unusual level of depth . . . The book's first section, 'One Day in Washington,' will be consumed by most readers in a single breathless gulp. For an event as widely reported as the insurrection at the Capitol has been, Draper provides a startling level of new, first-person detail. We have watched the hearings.

In focusing on Trump's enablers in Congress and elsewhere, Draper helps to show why the fringe became the center in the GOP--and why it isn't going away anytime soon." --Jacob Heilbrunn, Washington Monthly "A seamless, terrifying, inside-the-room account--and an unsparing one, at that--about how the Republicans went from the party of Liz Cheney to the party of Marjorie Taylor Greene." --Julia Ioffe, Puck "Fascinating." --Anderson Cooper "Brilliant." --Johh Heilemann, Showtime's The Circus "Deeply reported." --Salon.com, "Vital and indispensable . . .

Synopsis
Liz Cheney marveled at her current predicament. As a child surrounded by Republicans, she had strained to imagine what it would be like to attend a Democratic convention. It's like a different planet, she would think. But what planet was she on now? Referring to the audio tapes of Republican leaders reacting to January 6, Cheney said, "Listening to the tapes was a reminder that there was a moment when the Republican Party hadn't lost its mind. You listen to the leaders on the call reacting to a situation and you're like, 'Those people are adults. They're rational.'" Cheney believed that it would take more than one cycle for the GOP to regain its sense of reason. If Trump were to become the nominee in 2024, she felt certain that the party would suffer a fracture that could not be mended. And if the GOP continued to embrace the lie that Trump's victory had been stolen from him, then in her view the party was beyond salvation. Book jacket., One of The Washington Post's 10 Best Books of 2022 The disturbing eyewitness account of how a new breed of Republicans--led by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Madison Cawthorn--far from moving on from Trump, have taken the politics of hysteria to even greater extremes and brought American democracy to the edge The violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a terrible day for American democracy, but many people dared to hope that at least it would break the fever that had overcome the Republican Party and banish Trump's relentless lies about the stealing of the 2020 election. That is not what happened. Instead, "the big steal" has become dogma among an ever-higher percentage of American Republicans. What happened to the Republican Party, and America, during the Trump presidency is a story we more or less think we know. What has happened to the party since, it turns out, is even more disquieting. That is the story Robert Draper tells in Weapons of Mass Delusion . Through his extraordinarily intrepid cross-country reporting, Draper chronicles the road from January 6 to the 2022 midterms among the Republican base and in the U.S. Congress, rendering unforgettable portraits of how Marjorie Taylor Greene and her ilk came to shape their party's terms of engagement to an extent that would have been unimaginable even five years ago. He also brings to life the efforts of a dwindling group of Republicans who are willing to push back against the falsehoods, in the face of a group of ascendent demagogues who are merrily weaponizing them. With a base whipped up into a perpetual frenzy of outrage by conspiracy theories--not just about the big steal but about COVID and vaccines, pedophilia and Antifa and Black Lives Matter and George Soros and President Obama, and on and on and on--the forces of reason within the GOP are on the defensive, to put it mildly. The book also benefits greatly from reporting conducted in Texas, Arizona, Georgia, New Hampshire, and other bellwether states in the country of the mind one might call a fever of undending conspiracies. Robert Draper has been a wise, fearless, and fair-minded chronicler of the American political scene for over twenty-five years. He has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. He has never seen it this ugly. Ultimately, this book tells the story of a fearful test of our ability, as a country, to hold together a system of government grounded in truth and the rule of law. Written on the eve of the 2022 midterm elections, Draper's account of a party teetering on the precipice of madness reveals how the GOP fringe became its center of gravity.
