This book can be repetitive, but I'm recommending it anyway because this is the most important issue out there that hardly anyone seems to be talking about. Yes, Trump is insane. But that does NOT mean that Democrats will win in the midterms.

It took me 6 weeks to finish this cuz I could only listen to 15 minutes at a time without getting so angry and full of despair. I'm so glad I kept at it. I have such a better understanding now of why American politics seems so out of touch with the people, why we have such polarization, etc. weirdly enough, all experts in the book believe that the only way we can turn this around would be if a republican won in 2016. Seriously, read it.

tpixie Interesting! We will see if they were right! ( although I believe Trump is really an Independent who snuck onto the Republican ticket) 7y
Claireluana @tpixie yes, we will see! It's up to the people to make the changes happen! And good point on DT, he definitely is not a typical republican. 7y
tpixie @Claireluana yes! We The People! 7y

Stop Trump! I just donated to Cheryl Turpin's campaign for Virginia state house. She's a Democrat in a state Republicans have been gerrymandering like crazy. This is a special election happening a week from tomorrow. ✊

Riveted_Reader_Melissa This book was recently recommended to me somewhere else...I need to pick it up soon. 7y
SuperPunkNinja @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I haven't read it yet but I heard him on NPR. I've been avoiding reading it because the subject infuriates me so much. I think it's time to read it though. 7y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @McShelfington I think I saw it on a list recommended somewhere on the web. Hopefully I'll get to it this year. 7y

Every time I pick up this book, I get angry all over again. The way our country has been manhandled and manipulated by politicians is disgusting. Read this book and gain some knowledge.

Taking a break from my normal diet of YA fantasy to educate myself about the GOP's (successful) efforts to redraw the congressional map in their favor. Know thy enemy...

SiriGuruDevSingh It's reality like this that makes me turn back to bury myself in YA Fantasy!😥 7y
