NYT writer and former Austinite DraperRobert sees a dark future in his new book, Weapons of Mass Delusion.
, Draper says his initial plan"was to do a book about 'whither the Republican Party after Trump's presidency.' It presupposed the party would be facing a schism between the MAGA types and the post-Trump types."
Post-Jan. 6, Draper's focus began to organically change as Republicans, despite having feared for their lives that day at the Capitol and initially renouncing the president, now confronted a new political reality: Their base demanding continued fealty to Trump's lies and the Stop the Steal mantra that had been unceasingly pedaled to them via the right-wing media ecosystem and certain elected officials.
According to Draper,"There were a few Republicans in the room who realized they were facing an interesting moment. 'If we applaud and support MTG with her outrageous social media history, and we kick to the curb an upstanding Republican like Liz Cheney for just voting her conscience, then this will be duly memorialized as a sad inflection point.'"
In following this unexpected flow of events, Draper largely weaves his narrative through the rise of the unabashedly controversial MTG of Georgia and former tea party member Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona. Both are far-right, election-denying antagonists who represent important, formerly red swing states that have veered sharply right despite unexpected losses to Democrats in 2020.
