Product Description
by David Michael Slater (Author)
Do NOT read this book if you want your passionate convictions admired or your enemy's stupidity mocked. Do NOT read this book if you have emotionally charged reactions to hot-button topics like trigger warnings, cancel culture, patriotism, fake news, internet thought police, and gun control.
But if you ARE ready to think rationally and calmly about the opinions you hold as well as those held by your antagonists, it's time to read Wingnuts.
Pithy, humorous, and chock-full of shockingly commonsense wisdom, David Michael Slater strikes blow after devastating blow against the unreasonable thinking that now dominates our most critical political & cultural conversations.
Conservatives and liberals, righties and lefties, Democrats and Republicans, all come in for an equal-opportunity flogging in this book on political freedom. In it, Slater identifies forty vitally important social ideas and compellingly articulates how and why they've been hijacked by three types of extremists.
If his clarion call for a return to compromise in "the radical center" inspires enough people, it might just save democracy itself.
