New York Times’ best-selling author, Denver native and Regis High School graduate Tim Miller will discuss his recently published nonfiction book, “Why We Did It: Travelogue from the Republican Road to Hell,” at 7 p.m. on July 21 at the Tattered Cover on Colfax Avenue, in a conversation with Kyle Clark of 9News.
In a press release, the Tattered Cover says the former Republican political operative answers the question no one else has fully grappled with: Why did normal people go along with the worst of Trumpism?
“As one of the strategists behind the famous 2012 RNC ‘autopsy,’ Miller conducts his own forensic study on the pungent carcass of the party he used to love, cutting into all the hubris, ambition, idiocy, desperation, and self-deception for everyone to see,” reads a statement about the book. “In a bracingly honest reflection on both his own past work for the Republican Party and the contortions of his former peers in the GOP establishment, Miller draws a straight line between the actions of the 2000s GOP to the Republican political class’s Trumpian takeover, including the horrors of January 6th.”
Miller is currently an MSNBC analyst and writer-at-large at The Bulwark.
It is a free, nonticketed event, and Miller will be signing books after the talk, which includes a discussion with Kyle Clark of 9News. For more information, go to tatteredcover.com.
