Is justice a commodity? Why does effective gun control elude us? What influences people’s voting decisions? 'America, Why?' navigates the expansive political landscape of our nation, from Fox News orchestrating one of the greatest deceptions in American history to AR15s morphing into symbols of national identity. From the intentions of our Constitution to devastating Supreme Court rulings, to the terrifying era of Trump, 'America, Why?' meticulously explores our historical path, seeking to understand the genesis of our current state. It boldly highlights what is broken in America, from the ruinous impact of the Electoral College on our democracy to the partisanship that is killing America. It dissects the clash of ideologies shaping our nation and dives into Supreme Court Cases that shaped us. America Why? also exposes every legislator who accepted funds, some in the millions from the NRA, and condemns our Supreme Court Justices who can apparently be bought, handing down favorable rulings for luxury vacations. America, Why? answers the why of how America became so untethered. From our Founding Fathers to the partisanship that is killing America to the court cases and policies behind our democracy that will educate you, shock you, and inspire you.
