Lacking even the most basic mechanical knowhow, Tim Moore sets out to cross Trumpland USA in an original 1924 Ford Model T. Armed only with a spare cotton drive band, our 'wise-ass Limey liberal' steers a 6,000-mile, coast-to-coast route, meeting the small-town Middle Americans who voted red along the way. He meets a people defined by extraordinary generosity, willing to shift heaven and earth to keep him and his ever-ailing Tin Lizzie on the road.
Henry Ford's 'Universal Car' embodied the sincere, can-do values that underpinned the American Dream, yet today Moore discovers a nation in conflict with itself : state-hating citizens armed to the teeth 'for when it all comes down' ; a creaking healthcare system that struggles to support sugar-loving soda guzzlers and the two million opioid addicts it created ; a disintegrating Rust Belt all but forgotten by the warring media and political classes.
With his trademark blend of slapstick humour, affable insight and buttock-clenching peril, Tim Moore invites us on an unforgettable road trip through Trump's America. Buckle up !
Superbe ouvrage
Excellent parcours au travers des US qui permet de comprendre pourquoi Trump a un électorat solide chez les républicains disciple de Friedman et les idéalistes transactionnels de base.
Plutôt plaisante lecture en plus
