Let It Sink In: Columns and Commentary from the Decade of Obama & Trump
By Tom Basile
Defending American Freedom in the 2020s
Starts with Understanding the 2010s
Through this curated selection of his columns from the 2010s and new commentary on America’s most pressing challenges, Tom Basile takes readers on a journey through a tumultuous decade to ensure we have a battle plan for the future. We need to let it sink in that the threats to American freedom and values are real.
Leftist activists driving radical change in our society are not just a ragtag band of Astroturf eco-warriors, anti-cop lunatics, or rabid, pink-hat-wearing feminists. Their ideology was advanced in the 2010s with the help of tech, Hollywood, the education complex, news media, big government liberals, status quo conservatives, secular humanists and others. That requires us to work together to protect our way of life as we tackle the 2020s. Government’s failures during the 2010s were equally profound and should also serve to refocus all Americans on our proven formula for exceptionalism. Basile believes that freedom-loving Republicans and traditional Democrats can reverse the trends that are threatening the promise of America, driving division and destroying our values. Through this look back at the decade of Obama and Trump, Let it Sink In offers a roadmap for the 2020s that will make Americans stronger and America even greater.
