Chase Geiser ain’t shy and he pulls no punches. This book explores the breadth of American populism, touching on its historical antecedents and its more contemporary forms. While advocating for healthy populism, he compares the failures and the darker sides of past populist movements, providing a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the positive and negative outcomes. This exploration is particularly poignant in today's politically charged environment where populism and populists are both celebrated and vilified.

Geiser’s writing is assertive. He leads and concludes with an invitation to get involved, make changes, and understand the role of citizens within populism. His mixed use of historical references and contemporary topics weave throughout the narrative, allowing listeners to draw their own parallels.

One of the standout chapters, Chapter 11 titled “Insurrection,” highlights Geiser's direct approach to controversial topics. Here, he discusses mainstream media and the general discontent that led to significant political events in recent years, including January 6th, 2021. I hit the back 30-second button several times in the first paragraphs of this chapter. Specifically focusing on this, “[the mainstream media] perspective seems to conveniently sidestep the critical analysis of the underlying causes. Discontent and skepticism were not born in a vacuum but were a culmination of prolonged feelings of disenfranchisement and distrust toward the political establishment.” This quote and concept resonate with real people who, without insider elite access or benefits, are shaking their head and wondering what in the hell is going on in the world. Hardworking Americans are left asking who in this system they can trust. Geiser’s argument that the media often overlooks the root causes of political movements speaks to a broader issue of representation and understanding in contemporary discourse, particularly when discourse is censored, moderated and threatened.

Geiser argues that Donald Trump's rise to power should not be viewed as the catalyst of the populist movements observed in recent years. Instead, he suggests that Trump's significant popularity and electoral success are indicative of an already existing populist sentiment among the electorate. This perspective posits Trump as a symptom rather than a cause, highlighting that his presidency was the result of widespread populist frustrations and desires for change within the traditional political structures, rather than the instigator of those sentiments. This nuanced view challenges conventional narratives and underscores a deeper, pre-existing conflict between entrenched power structures and emerging populist demands.

Having conversed privately and in public content with Chase Geiser prior to listening to this book adds an interesting layer to this review. Being familiar with his perspectives as a producer, author, and public figure allows for a deeper appreciation of his method and goals in writing this book. It’s evident that Geiser's personal convictions and professional insights heavily influence his narrative style and the subjects he chooses to emphasize.

While the book handles complex themes, it remains accessible and thought-provoking, making it a valuable addition to the conversations surrounding American politics today.

Small critique – Chase, you would have narrated the hell out of this. Fire your guns next time.
