It's Even Worse Than It Looks
How the American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism
Book • 2016
In *It's Even Worse Than It Looks*, Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein explore the deepening dysfunction in the U.S.
political system, attributing it to hyperpartisanship and asymmetric polarization.
They argue that the Republican Party has become ideologically extreme and resistant to compromise, while the media often fails to accurately portray these dynamics.
The authors propose reforms to address these issues, emphasizing the need for strategic voter engagement and media awareness.
