In his final days in office in 1909, Theodore Roosevelt invited dozens of friends to the White House for lunch. They had never met as a group, but they had one thing in common: Each played tennis with the president and advised on policy matters. Roosevelt half-joked that the public would never know how much these tennis partners did to make his administration a success. Journalists dismissively called them the “Tennis Cabinet,” making light of their contribution, but Roosevelt knew otherwise.

Ослабление международных институтов, внутриполитические кризисы, экономические трудности и недовольство населения создают почву для прихода к власти военных режимов.

Donald Trump ha ricostruito a propria immagine il Partito repubblicano lanciando un movimento popolare eterogeneo con il cappellino rosso MAGA in testa, grazie alle sue doti carismatiche e sfruttando risentimenti e complotti. La razionalità del discorso politico non gli appartiene, anzi, ha fatto dell'anti-intellettualismo una bandiera. Dietro l'apparente caos del Trump-pensiero, però, si è aggregato un movimento molto più strutturato di quanto si creda: una galassia di intellettuali, attivisti e politici che ha elaborato una critica radicale alla democrazia liberale americana.
