Profiles in Ignorance: How America's Politicians Got Dumb and Dumber
by Andy Borowitz
This is a quick read, like a greatest hits of idiotic things (mostly) the GOP have done and said in the past 50 years. This isn't some academic treatise, it's light satire along the lines of Al Franken's books. Honestly, the low-hanging fruit approach left me wondering if a more interesting book could be written on why voters have moved in this direction, not why politicians do what what politicians do. Elected officials are just responding to a "dumb-ward" shift in the public. So why are standards dropping? Why are so many voters accepting this road towards moronic fascism?
The most interesting part is the conclusion that that people opposed to this trend should become actively hands-on involved instead of engaging in "political hobbyism," that is, just commenting on social media and watching news programs from afar.
