<p>Something’s not right.” This is a refrain many Americans have uttered in these last</p><p>few troubling and tumultuous years. It’s a plaintive remark reflecting, Tammy Bruce</p><p>argues, the unnatural abundance of fear, an emotion weaponized by social and political</p><p>Masters of the Universe in a sinister effort to control us.</p><p>Fear Itself takes the reader inside the ancient political technique, from Machiavelli to</p><p>Marx to the modern American political bureaucracy, exposing how fear itself is</p><p>cultivated and used to gain and maintain power over the average American.</p><p>Follow left-wing talking points and Bruce says you see classic abuse behavior. Social</p><p>isolation (cut off anyone who doesn’t agree with you), restricting access to outside</p><p>information (deplatforming), deprivation (every crisis requires buying less, going out</p><p>less, and eating less), punishments for breaking arbitrary rules (social media trends),</p><p>blocking decisions (listen to the experts), gaslighting, guilt trips, goalpost moving and</p><p>more.</p><p>Bruce is determined to expose this foundational strategy driving the “progressive”</p><p>agenda specifically. In Fear Itself, she reveals how an alliance between government,</p><p>academia, and business is normalizing control through fear, and explains how</p><p>Americans can protect themselves from their gaslighting. Escaping fear’s clutches is</p><p>key to a renewal of American freedoms. Now, Bruce shows the way out.</p>
