Description: This explosive must - read for anyone who cares about the future of our democracy (Brian Stelter New York Times bestselling author) chronicles the rise of the MAG a movement from acclaimed political journalist Tina Nguyen who began her career and her education on the ground levels of the conservative recruiting machine. Her very first job was working for a little - known journalist named Tucker Carlson. She's chugged Mountain Dews with the first Breitbart writers poured over conspiracy theories from Covid - 19 deniers and visited the apocalyptic Patriot Church deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. The right is now a MAG a cult. And Tina Nguyen knows because she was raised by it back when it wasn t one. In 2008, in the weeks leading up to the election of Barack Obama Nguyen was a history - loving politics - obsessed college student at Claremont Mc Kenna College drawn there by a boyfriend and a research institute called the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom. Swept up by pro - America rhetoric and promises of a career in journalism Nguyen was drawn into the world of right - wing student activism and the early days of the movement now known as MAG a. In The MAG a Diaries she tells not only her story of loving and leaving the conservative movement but the history of the right wing painting a shocking picture of how they recruit train and indoctrinate generations of young people and shape them into the influential leaders and the supporting cast of tomorrow's Republican party. They are ruthless in building robust networks of power even if it means demolishing entire civic institutions from women's rights to fair elections and staging a coup when it doesn t work out. In this sobering endlessly readable fly - on - the - wall account of creeping fascism (Kirkus Reviews starred review) Nguyen pulls back the curtain on the conservative machine shining a light on the systematized on - ramp for young Republicans. These are the new leaders of the right and it's urgent we start paying attention.
