How America Lost Its Mind

In How America Lost Its Mind, Thomas E. Patterson explores the alarming disconnect between American beliefs and factual reality, particularly on critical issues like climate change and immigration. He discusses the emergence of “alternative facts” and the accompanying cultural and political crises. The book serves as a call to action, urging citizens to reclaim institutional power from ideologues and to foster a commitment to truth, mutual tolerance, and reliable information. Patterson makes a compelling case for engaging in the ongoing battle between fact and disinformation, advocating for unity and civility in a divided society.
