Critics Review
“A battle cry for ‘complacent friends of democracy’ to bestir themselves to meaningful action.” – Kirkus Reviews
“We like to believe that democracy is something permanent. Something fixed. Something that cannot be taken from us. History says otherwise. So does the present moment we are living in. What Brian understands, and what this book makes impossible to ignore, is that power does not disappear when it is defeated. It adapts. It waits. It returns in forms we think we recognize, until we realize we don’t. This is not a warning about the future. It is a confrontation with the present. And if you read it honestly, it will leave you with a question you cannot escape: when the moment comes again, and it will, what will you do?” – Don Lemon
“Brian Tyler Cohen is one of the most astute observers of American politics. In The Day After, he confronts the question that will define the next Democratic era: will the party finally wield power like it means it – reforming the courts, killing the filibuster, going on offense – or will it retreat into the same good-governance timidity that’s handed Republicans victory after victory?” – Dan Pfeiffer, co-host of Pod Save America
“The time for moving past the Trump era is fast approaching and Democrats need a plan to remake how we exercise power, reform, and restore the rule of law. That’s where Brian Tyler Cohen comes in. His urgent plea for a Democratic party that’s going to fight back to meet this moment complete with a game plan of how we can use history as our guide to do just that couldn’t be timelier and more necessary. We can’t just talk about our problems anymore–we must solve them with the ruthlessness and precision that Republicans have wielded for decades.” – Jessica Tarlov
