Synopsis
&“With wit and clarity, Katch argues for social movements, political activism, and socialism as the alternatives we need to win the world we want&” (Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, author of From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation). The election of Donald Trump has sent the United States and the world into uncharted waters, with a bigoted, petty man-child at the head of the planet&’s most powerful empire. Danny Katch indicts the hollowness of the US political system which led to Trump&’s rise and puts forward a vision for a real alternative, a democracy that works for the people. &“In the tradition of Abbie Hoffman and George Carlin, Sarah Silverman and Dave Chappelle, Katch&’s generous, embracing humor is deployed to uncover the deepest truths of our predicament. Don&’t miss it.&” —Bill Ayers, author of Demand the Impossible!: A Radical Manifesto &“This is a moment when politics and laughter are both necessities for survival. Without them we would be lost. Now we have a book that gives us both.&” —Dave Zirin, author of Game Over: How Politics Has Turned the Sports World Upside Down &“If you or your friends and family have been shocked and horrified since Election Day, Katch will calm you down, cheer you up, and get you ready to fight.&” —Sarah Jaffe, podcast host and author of Necessary Trouble &“It&’s horrible, tragic, ridiculous, and full of suspense. But enough about the White House. This book will make you laugh out loud, learn something about our world, and get inspired to change it.&” —Brian Jones, actor, educator, and activist
