Trumpism: A Survival Guide for Fear, Greed, and Delusion

What happens when a nation's collective nervous system runs on fear, grievance, and rage -- and a psychiatrist decides to write the diagnosis?Dr. Gerald Dariah has spent his career treating minds under siege. In this urgent, clear-eyed guide, he turns his clinical lens on a different kind of patient: an entire political culture caught in the grip of manipulation, division, and mass delusion.Trumpism dissects the psychological playbook behind slogans, scapegoating, and stolen-election myths -- showing how fear becomes governance, anger becomes identity, and repetition erases the line between truth and lie. From the Capitol riot to the resurgence of pseudo-scientific racial myths, Dariah traces the cognitive shortcuts that turn ordinary anxiety into extraordinary danger.But this is not a book of despair. Alongside the diagnosis comes a prescription: tools for spotting propaganda, protocols for resetting empathy, and a reminder -- grounded in genetics, not sentiment -- that every human being descends from the same African ancestors. We are, in the truest biological sense, all shades of brown.Part behavioral field manual, part civic wake-up call, this is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of a fractured moment -- and find their way back to clarity, empathy, and shared humanity.Step inside the mind of a movement. You may not see your neighbors -- or yourself -- the same way again.
