Fear Itself
Exposing the Left's Mind-killing Agenda
HarperCollins · Print & ebook · July 23, 2024
As progressive policies get more extreme—and challenging them becomes more dangerous—the left expects us to submit to the madness. “Leave this to your betters,” they tell us, as the left and our bureaucratic state refine the weaponizing of fear, gaslighting us into a new normal of chronic dread and anxiety with one goal in mind: unprecedented government control over our lives.

COVID, climate change, systemic racism, terrorist parents, identity politics, vandalizing language, cancel culture—from vague designer threats to an endless array of arbitrary rules, the left’s scam to kill our minds follows a predictable pattern: • Cut us off from our friends and family • Gaslight us • Tell us we misremember the past • Break down our confidence • Shame us • Fill us with a fear of everything It's time to turn the tables and end this abusive manipulation once and for all. And former liberal activist and Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce shows how. In Fear Itself, you’ll see that none of this is normal nor is it organic. And, most important, you’ll see that it can be defeated. Overcoming the weaponization of fear first requires recognizing it. Once we’re no longer in the dark, defeating it becomes second nature as we take back control of our lives and the destiny of our country.
