China’s new Red Guards: the return of radicalism and the rebirth of Mao Zedong

shows how to solve those problems. He proposes short-term solutions, like public protests and deference to the courts, as options for ensuring due democratic process. Hasen also considers how trusted old-guard bipartisan leaders could step into the spotlight and assure the public of fair election results. But Hasen sees the greatest potential in longer term solutions to fight voter suppression, fix the election administration and combat rhetoric around “rigged” elections that destabilize citizens’ trust in the process. Overall, Hasen calls for a “nonpartisan, professionalized election administration” and enhanced civics education about the nation’s vital “multifaceted plural democracy” (107). To conclude, the major contribution of this book is the insight into a meltdown of the liberal mind and why that risk is increasing in the United States and what to do about it before it is too late. Besides, the volume reveals how a long-term, systemic reform of American elections could look like to increase the confidence of voters on the integrity of elections in the US after Trump. The book is most suitable for those who are interested in American politics more broadly and those who want to understand the threats to democratic election processes in consolidated democracies.
