Sarah Bosetti – Make Democracy Great Again!

What do an AfD voter and a climate activist have in common? The fear that the world as we know it is coming to an end. So much for a divided society! Whether you’re on the right or the left, an “old white man” or a young “woke” woman, a cargo bike enthusiast or an anti-vaxxer: we’re united in our fear of a bleak future.

But Sarah Bosetti has no appetite 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 brighter one and work toward it. If no one feels like democracy anymore, we shouldn’t give it up—we should make it better.

Make Democracy Great Again! is a funny, biting, and rousing plea to save democracy. Sarah Bosetti gives politicians communication lessons, invents the best fake news, writes thoughtful protest signs, and shows why it’s a privilege to be allowed to get off the couch.

Sarah Bosetti is a satirist, author, poet, and feminist against her will. She has been honored with the Grimme Prize, the German Television Award, the German Cabaret Award, the Joachim Ringelnatz Prize for Poetry, and the Dieter Hildebrandt Prize, among others.
