On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, Sasha Abramsky discusses his new book, "Chaos Comes Calling: The Battle Against the Far-Right Takeover of Small-Town America."
He tells the stories of two communities, Shasta County, California, and Sequim, Washington, where toxic alliances of QAnoners, anti-vaxxers, Christian nationalists, militia supporters, and other far-right activists have worked to take control of the levers of power.
