The story of America is the struggle between our liberal ideal and illiberal resistance. Donald Trump catalyzed a reactionary revolution by tapping into the dark, shadowy side of American democracy that embraces exclusion and inequality. Madisons Sorrow shows that throughout American history these alarming impulses have come to the forefront of our cultureduring the Civil War, the era of the Robber Barons, and the Civil Rights Movementbut have now come to fruition in the presidency of Donald Trump. Clearly, conservatives have lost their party. And without conservatives debating liberals in an intellectual, respectful manner to address the nations problems, Madisonian democracy breaks down. In the tradition of Tomas Paines Rights of Man and Arthur Schlesingers The Vital Center, Madisons Sorrow offers a searing critique of the radical right and a passionate defense of the founders liberal ideal.
