Excellent, on point and no fluff

Great narration by Brian, clear and concise analysis of how we got to this point in us politics. With the election just 84 days away and democracy on the line, it is inconceivable why anyone would not want to invest just 4 hours of their time to listen to this excellent book and understand how democracy has been undermined by the Republican Party.

Crystal Clear

B T C is crystal clear about the real and present danger that the Republican Party are to the democratic future of the USA. A timely reminder that beyond the fog of petty culture wars the risk to the Worlds largest democracy is teetering on the brink.

A book of great importance

A clear and succinct account of how the Democratic process is under attack and the origins of its calculated undermining. Even for someone who is familiar with Brian’s channel and his insights, I still learned a great deal. Highly recommended. Make sure to vote.

Great summary of the failure of the Republican Party

Contrary to what you might have been told BTC hasn’t written a book that is pro-Democrat, but one that is pro-democracy. He is on the side of normalcy and democracy and this book is a good starting place to understand quite how effectively Trump and the modern Republican Party have destroyed the GOP.

It also goes into explaining why the MSM cannot be relied on with its obsession with both-sidesism whilst RWM is just a Republican mouth piece.

The road to shame

Fantastisch book by BTC. How the right grew to shameless politics. Good view of the weakness of the left and way to do about it.

Exceptional grounded POV

I've been following Brian since he had a few hundred followers. His insight and daily posts give you a true picture of the U.S's political situation, as a guy from the UK, I've found his content honest and well researched. The book is a great extension of this content. Brian delves into the alarming state of American politics that has devolved into the hopeful Vs hatred with some valuable reflections on history. Refreshingly lacking the sensationalism that U.S media often has, which effectively normalises shocking events, Brian's book is a warning to his affiliated party, the opposition and indeed the world, that progressives need to learn new lessons or democracy will slip away. Highly recommended.

an accessible account of the dangers of DT

What I can’t understand is how the myriad of artificial slogans, name calling, strange behaviours, horrible catchphrases and extreme behaviour of DT and his acolytes, actually works to create a very dangerous world where the US might actually have him in for a second term as president.

In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen has written an accessible account of how this could be happening and ways that the majority of American people can defeat him in November.

For the awhile world’s sake, I hope they do!

I Loved It..

I absolutely appreciated & adored this book.

It was great to hear Brian’s (BTC) thoughts & his hard work delivered by him.

I am a Brit & US politics have always stomped me. I am a big fan of BTC for approx. 3/4yrs as his narrative & delivery (along with Glen K) has always been, humorous & honest, which is why I decided I am absolutely going to support him by buying his book. This book provided a much deeper dive & a greater understanding of (what is deemed by me) the acceptable & despicable behaviour of some politicians & why such fabricated, exaggerated & vulgar narratives are acceptable, not just on podcast but on the TV.

This book provided such a great in depth explanation & understanding to the history of that behaviour & this was a thorough & critical evaluation of political behaviour & actions and the impact on the American democracy.

The book was sufficient & needed in a genre that wasn't too padded out with unnecessary chit/chat & also offered a strong perspective and allowed the listener (or reader) a more detailed exploration of topics.

I liked that Brian ends on a hopeful note, that was admirable & it made me feel more encouraged. Hopefully, one day he will visit the UK, either on a tour - it would be great to hear him speak live & do a Q&A..

Thank you BTC, your team, your collaborators, & everyone who inspired you (mum) enough to be included in this book. I know it took a lot of your time –

It was worth it.

A well researched and breezy guide to modern politics

Cohen brilliantly disseminates the rot at the heart of modern politics and where it originated. For many in the west (UK included) this books showcases the slippery neoliberal slide toward fascism and autocracy. Change the names and you could shift Republican to UK Tory or Trump to Boris. I look forward to more literary works from Cohen.
