Thomas Edsall on Donald Trump, woke culture and the death spiral of American democracy

"The Point of No Return: American Democracy at the Crossroads" by Thomas Byrne Edsall is a collection of his columns from the New York Times. Edsall argues that the United States is at a crossroads, with its democracy in danger of collapse. He traces the roots of this crisis to the rise of Donald Trump, whom he sees as a symptom of a deeper rot in American politics.
