In Nasty Politics, Thomas Zeitzoff examines this global political trend of nasty politics in the US, Ukraine, and Israel and looks at how key leaders such as Trump, Zelensky, and Netanyahu use it. Drawing on surveys, case studies, in-depth interviews, databases of nasty politics, and large social media datasets, Zeitzoff shows that the public generally doesn't like nasty politics.
