Thomas Chatterton Williams, a staff writer at The Atlantic, has taken a deep dive into the era-defining year of 2020 and written a book that's "an argument for why we must resist the mutually assured destruction of identitarianism — and really believe in the process of liberalism again."
His book, "Summer of our Discontent‚" came out this month. The Deseret News chatted with Williams about holding a mirror up to liberals' anti-democratic ideology from the inside, the Obama to Trump transition, and what it will take for America to become a pluralistic, multi-ethnic nation. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
