    About this audiobook

    On June 14, 2016, Jared Yates Sexton reported from a Donald Trump rally in Greensboro, North Carolina. One of the first journalists to attend these rallies and give mainstream readers an idea of the raw anger that occurred there, Sexton found himself in the center of a maelstrom. Following a series of tweets that saw his observations viewed well over a million times, his reporting was soon featured in the Washington Post, NPR, Bloomberg, and Mother Jones, and he would go on to write two pieces for the New York Times. Sexton gained over eighteen thousand followers on Twitter in a matter of days, and received online harassment, campaigns to get him fired from his university professorship, and death threats that changed his life forever.

    The People Are Going to Rise Like the Waters Upon Your Shore is a firsthand account of the events that shaped the 2016 Presidential Election and the cultural forces that powered Donald Trump into the White House. Featuring in-the-field reports as well as deep analysis, Sexton's book is not just the story of the most unexpected and divisive election in modern political history. It is also a sobering chronicle of our democracy's political polarization-a result of our self-constructed, technologically-assisted echo chambers.

      The roots of American range are clear, but what to do about it is not. Well actually, vote, just wrote.
    • 4/5
      An inside look at the 2016 presidential campaign from the primaries to shortly after the election. The author is a grass roots guy schmoozing with attendees at hundreds of political events. He sees and feels the anger of the Trumpites and those who "feel the Bern". The first half of the book was more interesting because the early moments are relatively unknown. The second half of the book is full of excerpts from Trump speeches and events that will probably be known to you is you are a close follower of politics. For the political junkie.
