Not very "witty" as the blurb says. More like walking through a nightmare. Especially knowing that since the book's publication in 2010, things have only gotten worse. Much worse.

When Obama was elected, I was feeling pretty optimistic. I knew that the conservative lawmakers tried to block everything he did. But I didn't know (till I read this book) that there was an organized effort from the right to shut down public forums by shouting down the speakers before they could even get started. Many brought weapons of war and insisted they were engaged with free speech and second amendment rights -- so what's the problem? The speaker often had to escape out the back door to safety.

Highly recommended, to learn what was happening in 2010 as a chilling prelude to current events.

This is the 2nd book I've read by David Neiwert (other was Alt-America) and both of them were seriously amazing and spot on. This book was written in 2010 and I couldn't believe how everything he has predicted in this book has came true, or worse. After the Capitol riots on the 6th earlier this month, people should revisit this book and at least give the 2 authors big props for being so correct it's scary.
