Mattis\u003c\/b\u003e (Foreword by)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines the dynamics driving the country's deeply troubled political culture and highlights reforms needed in the post-Trump era to strengthen US democracy. The author paints a clear and sobering portrait of a mercenary election industry and its support structure tailored to perpetuate and exploit America's social and political division. He shows how corrosive partisan animosity, dysfunctional political institutions, and even Trumpism are symptoms of a broken system dominated by a self-serving party duopoly. Having hacked the democratic process for its own ends, the cartel's intrigues continue to undermine functional compromise and the virtues essential for self-governance. Without timely structural reform outlined in the narrative, Politics Inc., abetted by technological, social, and cultural factors, will continue to undermine the country from the far right and far left. The stakes could not be higher. At risk is the nation's security and the future of democracy at home and around the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Raidt has served on three national commissions: National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (9\/11 Commission); Commission on the National Guard and Reserves; and the Independent Commission on the Security Forces of Iraq.
