The Way We Live Now, Part One: The Emotional Toll of Public Bullying & Political Intimidation
Author’s Note:
this is the first installment in a series on the current public climate of fear
and intimidation that since the kick-off of the last presidential campaign in
2015 has dominated national life in the United States. In particular I look at
how this toxic environment has poisoned our politics and even reached into our
very relationships with friends, co-workers, neighbors, and family members. Next
up is Part Two: “How the Public Climate of Fear and Intimidation Works.”

Christopher Brown is the author of Tropic of Kansas, a novel of American collapse and uprising published in 2017 by HarperCollins that NPR called "frighteningly prescient...the nightly news with the volume turned up to eleven” and Booklist said reads “like Cormac McCarthy meets Philip K. Dick.” A World Fantasy Award nominee, Brown’s work explores politics, economics, ecology and technology through a speculative prism. A former staff lawyer for the Senate Judiciary Committee and General Counsel of two publicly-traded technology companies, Brown lives in a rehabilitated petrochemical brownfield in East Austin.
Roddey Reid is author of Confronting Political Intimidation & Public Bullying: A Citizen's Handbook for the Trump Era & Beyond (2017) and is Professor Emeritus, University of California, San Diego, where he taught classes on the modern cultures and societies of the U.S., France, and Japan. His latest writing has been on trauma, daily life, and the culture of intimidation and bullying in the U.S. and Europe. He hosts a personal blog called “UnSafe Thoughts” on bullying and the fluidity of politics in dangerous times. He is a member of the San Francisco chapter of IndivisibleGuide.com (now Indivisble.org), the activist group that was formed in December 2016 to pressure politicians to preserve the legacies of the New Deal and the Great Society and that now has over 6,000 chapters nationwide.
