Book Review: "The Man Who Sold America" By Joy Ann Reid

How did we get here or in the words and title of Hillary's new book "What Happened"...

This is the question we all want to know and to the best of anyone's knowledge how did a chameleon enter the highest office in the land?

What I can tell you is I happily divorced a malignant narcissist and I now council others so it's not far fetched to learn that many who voted hoped for change. 

They were living paycheck to paycheck, they wanted new ideas, they prayed for new legislature and a reduction in taxes. They needed jobs and commerce. They were concerned about crumbling infrastructure and climate change.

What they didn't bargain on was they were being sold a ponzi scheme with the top 1% getting richer while the bottom half were fed scraps.

The MAGA was a cute catch phrase but in the end accomplished very little. 

In fact I just finished Charles Hurt new work entitled, "Still Winning" and sadly I ask Are we still winning? By the way enter skeptics here.

I know the end result and it's not pretty.

What I enjoyed here is it was backed up with research on America's history and not just 'opinion' based as so many political books are today.

The favorite section noted, " White people will probably be the minority in 2050 according to Census."

Republican party is desperate to hold on to as much power as they can get.

After all this is the name of the game. Power and control.
So I hope you read this and not rate it based on your emotions but on the author's skill in writing and presenting facts to the readers.
