If Shameless gave you the righteous fury and receipts you needed to win every Thanksgiving argument, American Psychosis is your next arsenal upgrade. David Corn doesn't just call out GOP hypocrisy—he traces the roots of Republican radicalization with the same insider swagger and conversational fire that made Cohen's takedowns so addictive, turning decades of extremism into a narrative that feels both personal and urgent.
This isn't dry political history; it's a witty, unfiltered rallying cry that validates every frustration you've felt watching the right weaponize fear. Corn arms you with historical anecdotes and sharp commentary that land like punches.
Consider this your empowering argument against conservative overreach, no both-sides-ism required.
