The Inflection Election: Democracy or Fascism in 2024? aims to warn busy and credulous Americans that this November will be a choice between a Party of Progress and a Party of Dangerous Extremism that may determine the path for American governance for generations.
In a likely close 2024 national contest, The Inflection Election is an entertaining and informative manifesto that will become part of this year's urgent political conversation. It is a one-stop primer that synthesizes fresh phrases, narratives and values to keep Democrats on offense and Trump's MAGA party on-the-ropes. Green's conclusion is that the GOP "sounds like a casting call for the delirious jury in the classic film Idiocracy, which was supposed to be a satire on reverse Darwinism, not reality TV."
November 5, 2024 is either/or time. This book explains why.
Mark Green is joining us on the Busboys stage to discuss the impact of the 2024 election. Copies of the book will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Green will be signing following the program.
This event is free and open to all. Our program begins at 6:00 pm, and will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of INFLECTION ELECTION will be available for purchase before and after the event. Please note that this event is IN PERSON and will NOT be livestreamed.
We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books.
