Not really. It's crap. It's junk food. Simply because it's extremely biased. It cherry picks its OMGs, and it's shameless about it. It's great if you lack awareness of the context. But stupid if you don't lack that blind spot.
This book is written as if history starts in 2016. It also relies too heavily on blaming a symptom and never asks, "How did we get here?" and "Who is responsible for that?"
In short, this book is part of the problem, and why that problem perpetuates.
But read it, simply to be reminded how stupid even the "intellectuals" have become, and how quick the masses are to agree with something because it agrees with the narrative they've been spoon-fed.

Politics is now like professional sports, the fans beat the crap out of each other while the owners of the teams sit side by side in the same box and laugh their asses off. The elites have much more in common with each other than they do with any of us.
As someone who reads a few books a year, mostly fictions to be honest, I found this book is terribly written, as a book. There is little or no connection between many of those 20 points and their following history stories in the same chapter. Does this book even have an editor, or maybe it's just someone's own lecture notes?
As someone who is still new to US politics and learning, I found this book full of hatred, just like many things happening now.
