12 Books to Help You Survive Trump's Presidency

Why Liberals Win the Culture Wars (Even When They Lose Elections) by Stephen Prothero

For anyone trying to gain a little perspective and distance from the recent election and its aftermath, this book should do the trick. Prothero offers a sweeping view of American history to demonstrate that, overall, liberal values have tended to triumph in times of national debate. It's definitely something to keep in mind after the dismal flurry of executive orders the Trump presidency has kicked off with.
