Deutschland rechts außen - eine Gefahr für uns alle. Die Gefahr, die von der AfD ausgeht, wird im öffentlichen Diskurs nicht abgebildet. Die Partei wird verharmlost, indem sie etwa als "rechtspopulistisch" bezeichnet wird. Dabei hat sie sich längst zu einer rechtsextremen Partei entwickelt. Ihre Gewaltbereitschaft wird regelmäßig ausgespart. Zugleich erzielt sie hohe Zustimmungswerte, und Vertreter:innen demokratischer Parteien grenzen sich nicht genügend von ihr ab. Cremer zeigt eine Entwicklung, die angesichts der deutschen Geschichte lange nicht für möglich gehalten wurde.

Almost everything has been invoked to account for Trump's victory and the rise of alt-right, from job loss to racism to demography - everything, that is, except popular culture. In The Sky Is Falling best-selling cultural critic, Peter Biskind, dives headlong into two decades of popular culture - from superhero franchises such as the X-Men and the Avengers and series like The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones to thrillers like Homeland and 24 - and emerges to argue that these shows are saturated with the values that are currently animating our extreme politics.

Never before have the nuclear codes been in the hands of a man who many observers view as unstable and erratic.
