Really grew on me
Revisado: 01-21-17
At first I thought this was overly idealistic. Throughout reading it I realized the author was merely speculating on what *could* be. By the end, I found the contents of this book to be very imaginative and interesting. I would recommend this book from a philosophical and imaginative standpoint, but not from an analytical one. It was still very much worth my time.

Whats a wingnut? A wingnut is someone on the far-right or far-left wing of the political spectrum professional partisans, unhinged activists, and paranoid conspiracy theorists. Barack Obama campaigned as an antidote to the politics of polarization, promising to transcend the old divides of left and right, black and white, red states and blue. But in the first year of his presidency, he is presiding over an eruption of hate and hyper-partisanship that threatens to mock the promise upon which he was elected.

I expected more analysis, less summarizing
Revisado: 11-25-16
I was hoping this book would be a good analysis of the extreme rhetoric afflicting our political system. While there were some elements of that in the book, overall, it was simply a regurgitation of anecdotes about extremists and what they've said. It offers no insight into political solutions, and basically is part of its own self-described "finger pointing" problem. It simply aims to convince the reader that we are in a terrible situation and it's extremists' fault. No solution. No explanation why. Just finger pointing. Furthermore, I was hoping for a balances view of both liberal and conservative extremism, but the book skews more towards criticizing conservative extremism. Some part of the book were good and insightful, but overall I found myself just waiting for it to add something of value or just end.
