The #1 New York Times bestselling author and leading conservative voice examines how the Left's assault on history, language, and culture is destroying the truths that bring Americans together. From Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States to the New York Times ' 1619 project, the modern Left views American history through the lens of competing oppressions, replacing the traditional understanding that all Americans are part of a shared journey toward the perfection of universal ideals. Their attacks on the values that built our nation, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, are insidious because they replace each of them with nothing beyond an increased reliance on the government. We can't agree on what makes America special. We can't even agree that America IS special. We're coming to the point that we can't even agree what the word America itself means, In How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps, Ben Shapiro argues that part of being a cohesive nation is upholding certain truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself. As he lays out how the Left is systematically undermining America, he warns that if we don't recover our shared truths, our future as a cohesive, vital nation is grim.

"Conservatism is grounded in gratitude—gratitude for what we love and want to conserve for future generations. Ben Shapiro’s How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps is a valuable and passionate expression of gratitude for what makes this country great and why we should be grateful for what it is, not angry at it for falling short of some ideological fantasy of perfection."

Klappentext

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it's taken us 250 years to build?and they'll start by canceling our shared history, ideals, and culture.

Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can't agree on what makes America special. We can't even agree that America is special. We're coming to the point that we can't even agree what the word America itself means. ?Disintegrationists? say we're stronger together, but their assault on America's history, philosophy, and culture will only tear us apart.

Who are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States to the New York Times' 1619 project, many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American philosophy as a lie ? beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system. They see America's culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals.

Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government.

This twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional ?unionist? understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals.

How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself?to be unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don't recover these shared truths, our future?our union?as a great country is threatened with destruction.
