Historia
Billionaire oligarchs want to own our republic, and they’re nearly there, thanks to legislation and Supreme Court decisions that they have essentially bought. They put Trump and his political allies into office and support a vast network of think tanks, publications, and social media that every day push our nation closer and closer to police-state tyranny.

I found this very interesting
Revisado: 07-14-24
This was a very interesting book and kept my attention form start to finish. As a woman it was somewhat terrifying and also sad for the women who are trafficked. How tragic. I also learned a lot about the trucking industry and have a better appreciation for what truck drivers do. Lastly I was very glad that the author was also the narrator. Frank does a wonderful job of narrating.

Very interesting topic
Revisado: 06-15-24
I listened to this on Audible and it was a very interesting book. Lots of very cool historical information that I had no idea about. The Audible version has some recorded interview segments which were great. And it has an interview with George Stephanopolous after the conclusion of the book which was good. The Trump chapter was terrifying. If nothing else all voters in the upcoming Presidential election should be required to read that.

Historia
Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing—and least understood—people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement.

Very informative
Revisado: 06-02-24
I found this a very informative listen given the times we are living in. It highlighted yet another force that threatens our democracy. It was very engaging at times and very tedious to listen to at other times. I almost gave up on it several times but kept listening and am glad I finished it.

Excellent information about our healthcare system
Revisado: 04-07-24
As usual Thom Hartmann tells you everything you need to know about our healthcare system along with why it is the way it is as well as ideas (not necessarily all his) for how to change it for the better. Very good read.

Historia
Today’s Republican party is not a “normal” political party in the American tradition. It has become an autocratic movement masquerading as a political party. As Stuart Stevens argues in The Conspiracy to End America, if we look away from that truth, we greatly increase the likelihood that the America we love will slip away, never to return.

Urgent message for America
Revisado: 02-25-24
Very good information from a former Republican who worked on campaigns for Republicans throughout his career. Everyone can gain valuable information from this book that will help make the choice clear about the direction the Republicans want to take the country and how close we are to devolving into a autocratic regime.

Very good read on the topic of ADHD
Revisado: 02-01-24
I have read numerous books on ADHD and most of them have been excellent, however this was the first book on ADHD that offered practical solutions to parenting a child with ADHD. I recommend this book for parents of children with ADHD. I did not enjoy the narrator but the content kept me listening till the end.

A good recap of important times in American history

This was an ok read. A lot of history which was good but I was looking for some concrete insights on how we can save our democracy and did not get that from this book.

Historia
Behind today's headlines of billionaires taking over our government is a secretive political establishment with long, deep, and troubling roots. The capitalist radical right has been working not simply to change who rules but to fundamentally alter the rules of democratic governance. But billionaires did not launch this movement; a white intellectual in the embattled Jim Crow South did.

Excellent
Revisado: 11-01-23
This was an excellent read. It should be a mandatory read for all voters. It was also terrifying. I’ve heard pieces of this story over the past few years but it was methodically explained in this book. I fear we are close to the end game and thus the end of our democracy, leaving the majority to be ruled by the minority without any way to reverse it.

Historia
Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis of 2008 to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a root problem: racism in our politics and policymaking. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all.

This was an amazing book and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves America and who is troubled by the policies being proposed by too many of our elected representatives.
