The Political Books We’re Reading This Fall
The Chapo Guide to Revolution: A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts, and Reason
In the lead-up to the 2016 election, the hosts of Chapo Trap House did something unusual for a political-comedy podcast that mocked the increasing insanity of the right: they began to turn on the toothless orthodoxies of the Obama-era Democrat Party. Their first book, The Chapo Guide to Revolution (Touchstone), is a sacrilegious, hilariously crass, disturbingly illustrated manifesto of the dirtbag left’s worldview, perfect for anyone feeling abandoned by the incestuous remnants of power in the media-political complex elite, and potentially helpful for Democrats trying to understand why voters aren’t really embracing their #resistance branding.
