So I don’t ask Perlstein to compare Richard Nixon – the subject of volume two, Nixonland (2008) – with a president repeating his “law and order” message and who the same day says “universal mail-in voting” will lead to “the most INACCURATE & FRAUDULENT election in history”, and therefore suggests the US might “Delay the Election until people can properly, securely and safely vote?” Given Trump’s tweet on postponing, the political media’s determination to bound its discussion within the frame of normal politics is downright dangerous, and I won’t be complicit.” I’ve given my last interview about the ’68 election’s lessons for 2020.
An hour or so before we speak, however, Perlstein puts out a rather shorter statement: a tweet. Including notes, the book runs to more than a thousand pages.
