About this ebook

Two-time New York Times–bestselling author Jason Chaffetz is back to blow the lid off the Democrats’ attempts to spend unparalleled trillions and rewrite our election laws while never letting us get back to normal.

Why did the left think they could solve the pandemic with burning cities, closed beaches, blue state budget bailouts, and mail-in ballots nobody asked for?

The coronavirus has been a disaster for America, but it’s been an unprecedented opportunity for the left. In They Never Let a Crisis Goes to Waste, Jason Chaffetz delves into progressive efforts to leverage crises to force their priorities into law. Whether the crisis is legitimate, fabricated, or exaggerated, the solution is always the same: more government, less individual freedom, higher spending, higher taxes.

He explores how disaster liberalism subjugates individual freedoms to political expediency in times of crisis, and how Republicans need to be ready for next time.  Because when we allow government power to become unlimited in a crisis, the crises will become unlimited. 

Across the board, Democrat leaders exploited the pandemic to achieve their agenda, invoking disaster liberalism to justify unpopular and unconstitutional power grabs. Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed a gun control bill on April 10—three weeks into pandemic—because he wouldn’t have to put up with tens of thousands of protestors. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers announced he was making it a criminal offense to attend church or go to work, only to see his overreach struck down by the state supreme court. Nancy Pelosi rammed through a $3 trillion liberal wish list filled with proposals unrelated to COVID-19, that immediately died in the Senate.

If not for the courts and local media, many of the Democrats’ schemes would have successfully been implemented. As it was, many were—and many of the most egregious violations of Americans’ rights were celebrated across the left.

In They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste, Chaffetz uncovers Democrats’ game plan and calls upon all Americans to protect ourselves against future incursions. If we don’t pay attention, the left will use every crisis to implement its radical plan, steadily eroding the freedoms we all hold dear. Only the American people have the power to stop the left’s next power grab, as Chaffetz shows in this powerful, thoroughly-researched call to action.

Ratings and reviews

Fun fact on more info about Tony Evers in Wisconsin. His mask mandate was repealed by the Wisconsin supreme Court three times and each time they repealed it he instituted another one minutes after. Talk about a totalitarian government. But there is so much more the left will do to exploit this virus. Biden and Kamala are already reintroducing another wave into America by allowing all theses people to cross our border illegally with no covid check or security check of any kind. 150k + people a month where at least 10% of all 19,000 kids now in custody have covid. And that is just a percent of a percent of all the people. If the kids have that amount of numbers being the least susceptible to the virus imagine the 130,000+ adults and the amount of them that are positive coming over. So this book is anything but fake. What is fake is the concern the Democrats show for loss of life or the value of your life.

ok. it is 2022. Look real close at the nation around you. mandates by the federal government over your body, but on video saying they couldn't do that. Wide Open Borders. Unvetted and sick illegal criminal invaders being bused in to your towns. Given your money. Everything for free. Federal government stopping shipping into the nation. But no problems in 2020 when most of the world was on lock down. complete confusion with the virus. the vaccine is no longer called a vaccine. it is called the shot. Riots in cities around the nation. Nothing done. Main media reads stories from a script. From energy independence. to a president begging the middle east to ship more oil. Do You See What is Happening??

He loves to carry on about liberals. Well look at what Trump & "his people" did to our Capitol, the police there, all that work there, it was awful enough!!! But what if, they did reach Pence, and the others, that they wanted to "hang" or kill!!? All of them. They hated ppl on both sides. A very sick disturbed group of people. Look what Trump's rhetoric really did... And past prominent Republicans agree, that most of these Repubs today, it started before Trump, then he made it worse.. plus with the QAnon, conspiracy stories etc. I have friends mourning the past Republican party.
