Amidst all the current political turmoil – the search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lag residence, constant accusations of racial injustice, school shootings, stock market fluctuations, the war in Ukraine, Fauci’s resignation and his Covid legacy – the Local and Global Discussion Group of the Weston Council on Aging will review the recent bestseller The Deconstructionists: The Twenty-Five Year Crack-Up of the Republican Party by Dana Milbank at its October 13 meeting.

Milbank is a popular Washington Post columnist and The Deconstructionists has been described as a “scathing history” of a quarter century of Republican attempts to hold on to political power by any means necessary.

The book, which is available on Amazon, is more than 400 pages long; for those who don’t wish to read the entire work, a number of summaries are also available on Amazon.

The meeting will be hybrid, meaning that discussants can participate in person or via Zoom. It will take place from 1:15 to 3 pm. Anyone who is interested in a civil discussion of the issues with a wide variety of participants is welcome to attend. Just show up at the Council on Aging at the appointed time or contact Susan Wagner (susanwgnr@gmail.com, 508-733-8810) for a Zoom link or if you have questions/comments.
