Tim Miller’s excruciatingly honest book explore Trump loyalism from the inside, as a campaign operative who understands how the allure of winning, of being part of the tribe, can overwhelm one’s principles and beliefs. Miller relates his own experience as a young closeted gay men working on increasingly conservative Republican campaigns; his own coming-out forced him to re-evaluate what politics is for and put him on a path to oppose the radically right-wing shift of his own party. His candidates—John Huntsman and John McCain—started out reliably moderate, but Miller cites McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin as VP running mate as a watershed moment for the party’s angry populist turn. Although he admits that for most campaign workers, the game is enough, he develops a schema of factors that motivated otherwise reasonable people to join and stay with the orange president, and then, remarkably, put names and histories to these stories. Some of these people’s narratives are painful to read; kudos to the author for the obviously gut-wrenching work of digging out these stories. Despite his best efforts, however, the motivations are those we mostly know: ambition, money, and unquenchable anger at the “libs.” “There is no shortage of people out there looking to make a dollar and a cent in the political business,” he observes. “But the moral quandary comes into play when that work is in service of something that they know is dangerous and harmful and they do it anyway” (180). He may not have found the answers, but this book may at least raise questions in the minds of the next set of enablers, and that is a service to the country.
