The inside story of how Trump and the internet's radical Right shattered the old conservative order and remade American politics.�When Donald Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, his blunt and irreverent talk on immigration and American decline shocked the political class. But to millions of voters it felt like long-suppressed truths finally spoken aloud. In Whitepill, Scott Greer traces how forgotten traditions of the Right like paleoconservatism and early internet libertarianism collided with newer digital movements such as the Alt-Right and Neoreaction to forge the intellectual atmosphere that made Trump possible. Drawing on his firsthand experience inside DC conservative circles and his immersion in those online subcultures, Greer shows how the failures of the GOP during the Obama years, and the unconstrained, sometimes too unconstrained, meme culture of the internet, transformed American politics forever.�Part history, part insider's chronicle, Whitepill explains how Trump and the internet shattered the old GOP and what it will take for the new Right to fully transform from rebellion into order.
