John Dean, one of the key figures in Watergate, has had literal nightmares about Trump's presidency.

6. Dean got the information on RW authoritarians from Professor

Bob Altemeyer, who's researched the subject for over 20 years. Altemeyer wrote a book on the subject that I highly recommend. It's available for free here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxxylK6fR81rckQxWi1hVFFRUDg/view

If it turns out you do not like this book, blame John

Dean. You never would have heard of my research if

he had not recently plowed through my studies, trying

to understand, first, various people he knew in the

Nixon White House, and then some leading figures of

the Republican Party of 2004. John Dean is quite a

guy. I think I offended him once by addressing him as

AHonest John,@ which I meant in the sense of AHonest

Abe.@ John strikes one with his candor and openness. I

treasure his friendship as much as I treasure his

unfailing help. Some of his closest friends, I have discovered, go back to his high

school days. I think that says a lot about a person, especially given what John went

through in the 1970s. The former counsel to the president@ has campaigned endlessly

on behalf of my research, making it known wherever he could. This book was his

idea, and you would not be reading it if he had not kept "bringing me up on the stage"

with him as he talked about his Conservatives Without Conscience.

Democratic strategists have used his work to try to understand the RW mindset.
