Political campaigns in the United States, especially those for the presidency, can be nasty—very nasty. And while we would like to believe that the 2020 election was an aberration, insults, invective, and yes, even violence have characterized US electoral politics since the republic’s early days. By examining the political discourse around nine particularly deplorable elections, Mary E. Stuckey seeks to explain why. From the contest that pitted Thomas Jefferson against John Adams in 1800 through 2020’s vicious, chaotic matchup between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Stuckey documents the cycle of despicable discourse in presidential campaigns. Looking beyond the character and the ideology of the candidates, Stuckey explores the broader political, economic, and cultural milieus in which each took place. In doing so, she reveals the conditions that exacerbate and enable our worst political instincts, producing discourses that incite factions, target members of the polity, encourage undemocratic policy, and actively work against the national democratic project. Keenly analytical and compulsively readable, Deplorable provides context for the 2016 and 2020 elections, revealing them as part of a cyclical—and perhaps downward-spiraling—pattern in American politics. Deplorable offers more than a comparison of the worst of our elections. It helps us understand these shameful and disappointing moments in our political history, leaving one important question: Can we avoid them in the future?

In this major reexamination of the southern industrial economy and its failure to progress during the antebellum period, Fred Bateman and Thomas Weiss show that slavery and its consequences were not alone in inhibiting industrialization. They argue, rather, that the planters hesitated to invest in high-risk enterprises and worried that industrialization would undermine their authority. Underpinning this study is a massive data collection from census reports, which permits an economic analysis that was previously not feasible.

The original book story line intended to dispel comments made by Hillary Clinton during the election campaign when she said, "Half of Trump supporters are deplorable...irredeemable." As the author researched material to refute Hillary's remarks, he discovered multiple examples of intentionally misleading statements by the United States government. Those misleading statements by both the government and the mainstream media in turn created false concepts that were force fed to the American public. The book concentrates on the "big picture" of four cataclysmic events: the murder of JFK, Benghazi, 9/11, and the alleged Russian Hoax. While researching those four diabolical events, amazingly the author discovered an even more sinister plan that could lead to the destruction of America as America exists today. Uncovering a "smoking gun" document, the author felt compelled to expose the awful truths every American must know. It is the author's hope this book will awaken and inspire Americans to engage politically to save the republic and the American Dream.

"Was it possible to feel nostalgic about something that had never happened to him, possible for nostalgia to be taken in by the body as a free pathogen to infect the consciousness with stray sentiments? Perhaps, in his dreams, he had traveled back in time, or even drifted into another dimension of space-time and inhabited the body, experiences, and nostalgia of another. To even envisage so allowed the trauma of those lost moments, though not his own, to draw from him a certain envy for the entity in whose memories he had basked vicariously...Perhaps, nostalgia was a microorganism...the bacterium that infected... Yes...maybe he was sick. " - p. 354, Only the Deplorable
