The Fox News contributor and New York Times bestselling author of The New Thought Police and The Death of Right and Wrong lays out how left-wing politicians and media use scare tactics to control Americans’ minds, and offers solutions for breaking free.
“Something’s not right.” This is a refrain many Americans have uttered in these last few troubling and tumultuous years. It’s a plaintive remark reflecting, Tammy Bruce argues, the unnatural abundance of fear, an emotion weaponized by social and political Masters of the Universe in a sinister effort to control us.
Fear Itself takes the listener inside the ancient political technique, from Machiavelli to Marx to the modern American political bureaucracy, exposing how fear itself is cultivated and used to gain and maintain power over the average American.
Follow left-wing talking points and Bruce says you see classic abuse behavior. Social isolation (cut off anyone who doesn’t agree with you), restricting access to outside information (deplatforming), deprivation (every crisis requires buying less, going out less, and eating less), punishments for breaking arbitrary rules (social media trends), blocking decisions (listen to the experts), gaslighting, guilt trips, goalpost moving and more.
Bruce is determined to expose this foundational strategy driving the “progressive” agenda specifically. In Fear Itself, she reveals how an alliance between government, academia, and business is normalizing control through fear, and explains how Americans can protect themselves from their gaslighting. Escaping fear’s clutches is key to a renewal of American freedoms. Now, Bruce shows the way out.
