What Were We Thinking: A Brief Intellectual History of the Trump Era is a non-fiction book by Carlos Lozada, published in 2020.[1] [2] [3]
In this work, Lozada critically examines over 150 books written about Donald Trump and the political, social, and cultural dynamics of his presidency.[4] [5] The book explores the range of debates, ideas, and anxieties that have emerged during the Trump era, with a focus on how the American public and intellectual class have processed and responded to his presidency.[6]
The book received positive reviews from critics, who commended Lozada's ability to analyze and synthesize a large body of literature.[7] Reviewers appreciated the balanced critique of both liberal and conservative perspectives on the Trump presidency.[8] Additionally, Lozada's examination of broader themes, such as political polarization and institutional failures, was noted as a significant contribution to understanding the intellectual and cultural responses to Trump's time in office.[9]
