American horror show : election 2016 and the ascent of Donald J. Trump
\"American Horror Show' describes the last weeks of the 2016 election, Trump's victory, his transition and construction of a scandal-ridden cabinet and administration, to his inaugural speech and the first 30 days of his presidency. The text uses a multidimensional analysis to explain Trump's victory, including his mobilization of an authoritarian populist movement, the use of fake news to attack Hillary Clinton, the intervention of FBI Director James Comey 11 days before the election, claiming that another investigation of Clinton's emails was underway, and the intervention of Russian hacking of Democratic Party email and the use of this email against Clinton. Questions are raised concerning relationships between the Russian hacking and attacks against Clinton and members of Trump's campaign. The remarkable positive remarks from Trump concerning Putin, followed by putting pro-Putin Republicans in key posts of his administration, raise questions about Trump administration relations and connections to Russia. Finally, the first 30 days of Trump's administration show that he is a rightwing billionaire and militarist who has carried out an extreme rightwing Republican agenda and is not a populist concerned about the working class\"--Back cover.

Decoding the Digital Church
\"This investigation tries to understand why many
Evangelical pastors were blamed for endorsing Trump when, in
fact, most did not. This book joins other attempts by scholars
and journalists to analyze the relationship between Trump and
Evangelicals. Recommended.” —CHOICE As
a political constituency, white conservative evangelicals are
generally portrayed as easy to dupe, disposed to vote against
their own interests, and prone to intolerance and knee-jerk
reactions. In Decoding the Digital Church: Evangelical
Storytelling and the Election of Donald J. Trump, Stephanie A.
Martin challenges this assumption and moves beyond these overused
stereotypes to develop a refined explanation for this
constituency’s voting behavior. This volume offers a fresh
perspective on the study of religion and politics and stems from
the author’s personal interest in the ways her experiences
with believers differ from how scholars often frame this
group’s rationale and behaviors. To address this disparity,
Martin examines sermons, drawing on her expertise in rhetoric and
communication studies with the benefits of ethnographic research
in an innovative hybrid approach she terms a “digital
rhetorical ethnography.” Martin’s thorough research
surveys more than 150 online sermons from America’s largest
evangelical megachurches in 37 different states. Through
listening closely to the words of the pastors who lead these
conservative congregations, Martin describes a gentler discourse
less obsessed with issues like abortion or marriage equality than
stereotypes of evangelicals might suggest. Instead, the
politicaleconomic sermons and stories from pastors encourage true
believers to remember the exceptional nature of the
nation’s founding while also deemphasizing how much
American citizenship really means. Martin grapples with and pays
serious, scholarly attention to a seeming contradiction: while
the large majority of white conservative evangelicals voted in
2016 for Donald J. Trump, Martin shows that many of their pastors
were deeply concerned about the candidate, the divisive nature of
the campaign, and the potential effect of the race on their
congregants’ devotion to democratic process itself.
In-depth chapters provide a fuller analysis of our current
political climate, recapping previous scholarship on the history
of this growing divide and establishing the groundwork to set up
the dissonance between the political commitments of evangelicals
and their faith that the rhetorical ethnography addresses.

The Trump Phenomenon
On November 8, 2016, American voters surprised the world by electing a rank outsider with no previous political experience, businessman and celebrity Donald J. Trump, to become the 45th President of the United States after one of the most divisive and contentious campaigns in recent history. In this short book, Peter Kivisto analyses how this happened, focusing on who Trump is and the narratives about him and his candidacy that evolved during the campaign, who his supporters are and what their worldview is, and the role of the media, right-wing Christians, and the Republican Party in making Trump's victory possible.
The Trump phenomenon must be viewed as a manifestation of right-wing populism, a movement which has serious implications for democratic values and practices, and this book examines how it took hold in America to put one of the most controversial presidents ever elected into the White House.
