Sarah Bosetti: Make Democracy Great Again - Worte gegen den Weltuntergang

In the organizer's words:
A funny and revealing book about the state of democracy and the question of how it could be improved

What do an AfD voter and a climate activist have in common? The fear that the world as it is will end. A divided society, my ass! Whether right or left, "old white man" or young "woke" woman, cargo bike fan or anti-vaccination activist: we are united in our fear of a bleak future. No wonder, after all, we live in a chamber of horrors consisting of Donald Trump, climate change, Alice Weidel and the gender star. There is something to fear for everyone.
But Sarah Bosetti is not in the mood for fear and gloom. And she has a better idea! If we don't like the future as it's being painted, then we should paint a better one and work towards it. If nobody wants democracy anymore, we should not give up on it, but make it better.
"Make Democracy Great Again!" is a funny, biting and stirring plea to save democracy. Sarah Bosetti gives politicians communication lessons - by translating their statements into what they actually want to say -, invents the best fake news, writes reflective demo posters and shows why it is a privilege to be allowed to get up from the sofa.

Sarah Bosetti is a satirist, author, poet and reluctant feminist. She writes and hosts the monthly late night show "Bosetti Late Night" (3sat), the weekly satirical format "Bosetti will reden!" (ZDF) and the extra3 podcast "Bosettis Woche" (NDR) and is regularly on live tour throughout the German-speaking world. She has already been awarded the Grimme Prize, the German Television Prize, the German Cabaret Prize, the Joachim Ringelnatz Prize for Poetry and the Dieter Hildebrandt Prize, among others.
