What to Say to Your Crazy Right-Wing Uncle: Talking Points for Liberals - Paperback

by Samuel Warren Joseph (Author), Philip George Proctor (Author)

What to Say to Your Crazy Right-Wing Uncle is a fun, informative handbook for progressives to counter conservative talking points and disinformation. Full of funny and clever dialogue and political cartoons, this is a perfect gift for your political allies and the loved ones in your life who you are driving you nuts.

Thom Hartmann, the number one progressive radio talk show host in the U.S., writes in the book's foreword: "In 'What to Say, ' Sam and Phil provide both a template for talking back to your Crazy Uncle (who's not really crazy, just misinformed) and a narrative script, both as example and detail. It's a small but important step in reclaiming truth and sanity in the midst of an insane and often nakedly untruthful media landscape."

The book addresses such hot topics as Republican scandals, gun control, abortion, the Supreme Court, and income inequality. For instance, in the chapter "Kids in Cages", myths about immigration are debunked. In "Corruption Eruption," the Trump swamp are laid bare. In "Going to Pot," the pros and cons of legalization are examined, as well as many more current topics.
