Description
How did liberals get to be the way they are today? Takeover delineates the sharp break in the history of modern liberalism that began in the 1960s, and shows how leftists in pursuit of 'social justice' went from protest rallies to the halls of power by rewriting the Democratic Party's presidential nominating rules for their own benefit and using the courts to advance their radical agenda.
