Publisher's Synopsis
Is Donald Trump a threat to democracy? In this clear-eyed analysis, Johns Hopkins University professors Benjamin Ginsberg and Jennifer Bachner show that contrary to what the media would have you believe, Trump has actually been great for democracy-he has reinvigorated civic and electoral engagement, brought Congress back to life, challenged the overreach of the FBI, and pushed the press to reassert itself as a watchdog institution. Trump may be a disruptive force, the authors argue; but a disruption that is distinctly healthy for democracy, not harmful.
