MAJOR announcement from Brian Tyler Cohen

I've been waiting for today for a year.

I’m beyond proud to announce that today is the official launch of my new book, The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World. I want to ask you to support my work and order a copy— but first, I’ll explain why.

Donald Trump has shown that our institutions are not sacrosanct. He barrels through them to get what he wants— the law, the Constitution, the courts, the other branches of government be damned. But he does it for self-enrichment. He does it to build vanity projects. He does it to consolidate power for himself. Democrats can - and, I argue, must - learn from the GOP’s refusal to abide by norms and traditions— but for virtuous reasons! To deliver healthcare for all Americans, to expand voting rights, to combat climate change, to expand the Supreme Court, to deliver a just economy, and so much more.

I think it is essential to have this debate now, so that when we get into power - and I believe we will get into power - we don’t waste that precious time talking about wielding power, but rather simply doing it. With so much disillusionment in politics (on the right and the left), if we don’t take advantage of whatever opportunities come our way, we risk losing a generation of Americans forever. And it is in that vacuum of trust and faith in government where autocracy thrives. The moment that we’re living through right now, today, is a testament to why we must do everything in our power to prevent that from happening.

This book, The Day After, is a blueprint for how Democrats must govern in the future. It doesn’t seek to entrench the status quo, but rather usher in a new kind of government that works for Americans. A government that doesn’t allow the smallest obstacle stand in its way. A government that isn’t in place to defend its own institutions, but rather one that focuses on outcomes for its people.

If you agree with this message, then I humbly ask you to support my work and order The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World at any of the retailers at this link. You can also come to my book tour. I’ll be in Washington DC tonight, July 14, with Jim Acosta (tickets here), in New York City on July 15 with Don Lemon (tickets here), and with Jon Lovett in Los Angeles on July 18 (tickets here).

Thank you so much.
