Neiwert argues that extremism is not a new phenomenon in America. In fact, he traces its roots back to the country's founding, when white supremacists and other extremists sought to establish a nation based on their own narrow and hateful ideologies.

Over the centuries, extremism has taken many different forms, from the Ku Klux Klan to the John Birch Society to the neo-Nazis of today. But Neiwert argues that all of these groups share a common core set of beliefs, including a belief in the superiority of their own group, a fear of outsiders, and a willingness to use violence to achieve their goals.

In recent years, extremism has been on the rise in America. This is due in part to a number of factors, including the rise of social media, which has made it easier for extremists to spread their propaganda and recruit new members. Additionally, the economic and political anxieties of the past few years have created a fertile ground for extremism to grow.

Neiwert's book is a timely and important contribution to the understanding of extremism in America. It is a deeply researched and well-written book that offers a clear-eyed assessment of the threat that extremism poses to our democracy. Neiwert also offers a roadmap to understanding and addressing this urgent threat.
