It's a story that takes you down a rabbit hole - one that both the US as a nation and he as a journalist fell through - to unpack an epochal shift in political culture that starts in the earliest years of the Clinton administration and reached a crescendo on 6 January 2021 with the storming of the US Capitol. But that event wasn't the wild finale of a chaotic Trump presidency many hoped for - it was only the beginning. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A compelling mix of research and reportage, \u003ci\u003eThe Coming Storm \u003c\/i\u003egets under the skin of these conspiracy theories to show us a radical new kind of politics emerging, a movement that has coalesced around a loose alliance of tech bros, internet trolls and white supremacists. At a perilous moment in the history of American democracy, Gatehouse tells us some dark truths about our present, and provides clues about our future. \u003ci\u003eThe Coming Storm \u003c\/i\u003emarks the debut of a major new voice in political journalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriel Gatehouse \u003c\/b\u003eis a journalist and broadcaster.
