FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Book – The Blue Road to Trump Hell – Launching in Print and as Free E-Book
“The Democratic Party enabled Donald Trump to become president twice because of repetition compulsions that still plague the top echelons of the party – undermining its potential to end the real-life nightmare of MAGA control over the federal government,” Norman Solomon writes in The Blue Road to Trump Hell: How Corporate Democrats Paved the Way for Autocracy. “This book scrutinizes how the behavior of many Democrats assisted Trump’s electoral triumphs. That scrutiny is important not only for clarity about the past. It also makes possible a focus on ways that such failures can be avoided in the future.”
To reach a large readership, The Blue Road to Trump Hell is being published in December 2025 not only in print but also as a free e-book that will be widely distributed online. “We’re augmenting publication of the paperback original by simultaneously releasing the entire book in digital formats, making it available as a download from BlueRoad.info and many other platforms at no charge,” Solomon said.
The book includes eleven full-color cartoons by Matt Wuerker, who has been Politico’s editorial cartoonist and illustrator ever since its 2007 launch. In 2012, Wuerker won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning.
Solomon is national director of RootsAction and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of more than a dozen books including War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine (2023) and has written about politics for many publications including The Hill, The Nation, the Guardian, Common Dreams, the Los Angeles Times and Salon.
