I wrote From Realignment to Reaction as both a reckoning and a record. It’s my attempt to strip away the televised spectacle and expose how the language of politics—especially in America—has been reengineered not to inform, but to obscure. The book charts a descent: from strategic party shifts and rhetorical manipulation to a full-blown aesthetic of reaction, where myth and media fuse to manufacture truth. I dig into the rituals of disinformation: the way repetition sanctifies falsehood, the way spectacle erases solidarity. Labor history, buried beneath bipartisan mythmaking, resurfaces here as a pulse—a reminder that resistance wasn’t just possible, it was foundational. Through each chapter, I follow the signals: corporate messaging, symbolic betrayal, and the ghost of movements that deserve remembrance. This isn’t a neutral chronicle. It’s emotionally charged, symbolically anchored, and unapologetically defiant. I wanted readers not just to understand what shifted—but to feel the cost of the shift. And maybe, to recover something beneath the noise.
