About this listen
Don Watson offers a report from the United States that catches the madness and theatre of an election like no other.
This is a historically informed, mordant account of Donald Trump, Kamala Harris and a country approaching democratic high noon. From Los Angeles to New York, from Detroit to Kalamazoo, Watson observes America in all its diversity and conflict, reality and unreality. Above all, he sees the threat posed by Trump and his movement, with its blend of menace and glee, Great Replacement theory and electoral malpractice. Do Harris and the Democrats have what it takes? Can America mend its divisions? Do enough of its voters even want to?
An essential essay about a crucial moment of choice.©2024 - (P)2024 Audible Australia Pty Ltd.

The chilling reality of the United States
I was enthralled from the beginning. The tones of the author held my interest to the point of feeling horror at the future of our time. His information put so much into context about the mostly failings of both sides of American politics. Listening to this made me feel better about our own political landscape but was no more comforting in this realisation. Everyone should listen to this essay.

Came a Little To Late But this Don on Don is Good
As always with Don Watson so Well written and Poetic 'big-picture-and-man-the-street Aussie Eye Analysis of the Trump/Harris Campaign Debacle. This post-political speech writer and Biographer for Keating 'caravans' around with the roadshow. His best advice for Aussies - don't get sucked into their story (USA the experiment) that comes in the last few paragraphs.

Don Watson puts the election in its historical context extremely well
Don Watson in his usual laconic style explains how the US has reached the position it has, including how the Democrats failed to stop perpetuating the policies that enabled Trump to arise.
