Why people recommend it
What Were We Thinking by Carlos Lozada is a critical examination of the political literature and media produced during the Donald Trump presidency, analyzing the meta-narratives that emerged from that era. The book was discussed on The Book Review in the episode The Fate of Refugees After World War II, where Gilbert Cruz introduced the author as the non-fiction book critic for the Washington Post and the writer of this brief intellectual history of the Trump years. Similarly, on an episode of The Ezra Klein Show titled What We Learned Reading Ron DeSantis's Books, Ezra Klein mentioned the same volume to highlight his guest's extensive expertise. Klein noted that the author had meticulously read through a vast torrent of political books from the period to understand the underlying themes and collective obsessions reflected in the literature. Both podcast hosts pointed to the book as a definitive intellectual guide for making sense of the overwhelming political discourse and cultural friction that defined a uniquely chaotic chapter in modern American history and political writing.
