Blowback

A Warning to Save Democracy from the Next Trump

De: Miles Taylor

Narrado por: Miles Taylor

The author behind the “eye-popping” (CNN) #1 New York Times bestseller A Warning presents an urgent look at how our deeply divided nation is setting the stage for “The Next Trump.”

After a chaotic and violent first Trump presidency, Miles Taylor knew one thing for sure: Trump would be president again, whether he was on the ballot or not. Taylor knew intimately that Trumpism was overtaking the Republican Party and was bound to mount a vigorous comeback. Now, following the 2024 presidential election, his prophecy has come true.

With Blowback, the formerly “Anonymous” official is back with bombshell revelations and a sobering national forecast. Through interviews with dozens of ex-Trump aides and government leaders, Taylor predicted what could happen inside “Trump 2.0.” What sounds like a political thriller—from questionable presidential powers and CIA betrayals to angry henchmen and assassination plots—is instead America’s political reality, as Taylor uses untold stories to shed light on the ex-President’s unfulfilled plans, the dark forces haunting our lives, and how we can thwart the rise of extremism in the United States.

Blowback is also a surprisingly emotional and self-critical portrait of a dissenter, whose own unmasking provides a vivid warning about what happens when we hide the truth from others and, most importantly, ourselves.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This audiobook is an exceptional listening experience because the author’s dramatic narration is so perfectly suited to his captivating storytelling. With flinty vocal clarity and a sparkling delivery of quotes, he describes his experience as a Homeland Security official in Trump’s administration who wrote an anonymous book about the president’s antics and incompetence. His portraits of the president’s cruel vendettas and clueless flirtations with global catastrophe are filled with suspense and told with disarming authenticity. But what will linger is Taylor’s warning that, with or without Trump, the next wave of MAGA supporters will continue damaging the country’s institutions and norms unless we take a fearless look at the movement and find a way to neutralize its grip on so many officials and voters."

Couldn’t put it down

I knew I was getting an eye-opening account of how disgusting Trump is and what a disaster a 2nd Trump administration would be but I was surprised by Miles's personal account of the trials and tribulations he endured. I had no idea the shit he was going through and think sharing his story can serve to help others keep faith.

All Should Read This

This is a great story told in compelling detail by a man who lived it from the beginning. A lot was known in part from news clippings and reports; to hear it told in full in first person is chilling. America is on the brink, we all need to step back and remember what this country means, not to you personally, but to all of us.

Thank you Miles for telling your story.

A must in these days

Well written & well read by Miles Taylor. It is scary to listen to this but also nessasary

Amazing

Just riveting and true he speaks to us all reminding us that this democracy is ours to keep or lose.

A Call to Action

This was riveting and rich with detail. The author’s care to provide context and historical information is exceptional. The conversational delivery kept me engaged. You cannot read this and not be ready to take action.

essential

Beyond traditional civics classes, this book
should be made mandatory-reading for all "america"; e.g. you have to pass a "Blowback" test to qualify for voter registration.

Miles Taylor is smart, except

When he might be obfuscating the obvious because of his security clearance. Khashoggi? Clearly the Don did his Dumb Donny the Thug routine on camera as a vehicle of extortion. He’s a vile, barely literate mouth-breather, but the “ man” knows crime. Some jackass stupidly let him see classified documents and he saw his opportunity to extort $billions through his liege, Sir Jared. MBS ordered the hit, even after his “I’m so cuddly and Western!” Extravaganza tour of the USA ( flyover states, not included), ( Ari, you knew better but you got paid, wat?) it’s obvious. And evil. And God BLESS Miles Taylor for helping save us from the 4th Reich. This ain’t no joke. Now, please- let abolish system of shit public schools funded unfairly by property taxes and save this God Blessed Country!! It’s not a mystery where MAGA comes from!! @apple manufacture in the USA, bitch! Don’t file as an Irish tax haven. Shall I go on???

Scary outlook

I was riveted. And horrified. I hope his predictions never come true. But based on the last 8 years of watching our country fall apart and become so divisive, I fear his predictions are already in the making. But that’s just me thinking out loud. Listen to the book. Formulate your own opinions. I believe in democracy.

A must read

Important book - as citizens, we need to hear from different points of view and educate ourselves to avoid dark times in history repeating. Thank you Miles Taylor for being brave enough to speak truth to power! Vote autocrats out - and protectors of democracy in!
