From the first content creator to interview President Biden, leading progressive voice Brian Tyler Cohen takes a step back from the day-to-day news cycle to explain how American politics has turned into such a dumpster fire—and what Democrats need to do to get us out of it.
In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen’s unflinching narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior.
With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin, drawing on interviews and insights from Pete Buttigieg, Mehdi Hasan, Jen Psaki, and other luminaries of the Left, Cohen reveals:
How Republicans have leaned on their historical branding to give themselves a permission structure to behave antithetically to everything they say;Why the mainstream media has proved itself a willing participant in this ongoing farce— particularly since the rise of toxic, sensationalist MAGA mania; andWhat lessons Democrats can glean from a clear-eyed view of the landscape we’re operating in—and the steps we must take to rebalance our political landscape.
During this all-hands-on-deck moment in our history, Shameless is essential reading for those seeking to understand our dire situation, and a rallying cry for those fighting to preserve democracy.

Great insight
This book breaks down the why and how the current GOP has turned into The Jerry Springer Show and why a lot of folks like me have left after a lifetime of voting Republican.
Brian SIMPLY NAILED IT!!!
Brian absolutely lays out the hard truths that we all try to play down. For no one would be anti American in the way the far right seems to be... ooh but BRIAN EXOSES A FAR DEEPER PLOT THAT WILL, if not checked NOW!!, LEAD TO THE SUPER WEALTHY TAKING OVER THE WORLD AND THE END TO ALL DEMOCRATIC HOPES, as the worlds population is forced into the VERY DARKEST OF TIMES HUMANITY HAS EVER IMAGINED!! Yes, we do indeed need to listen now, and act for this is the end game, and winter is coming!!!
Insightful!
This is my first political novel and the main reason for my purchase is because I am a follower on his channel. I appreciate his time gathering as much details as he could for this book and citing reputable sources throughout the read.
At the end closing, he cited the Jewish American who was drafted to fight in the war and was captured in Germany. I admired the chap’s clever way of poking holes in the potatoes so they would rot faster to starve Hitlers soldiers and tying this to our democracy on how we may preserve it poking one hole at a time to slow or stop the miscreants who are lurking in the shadows looking to destroy it. Brilliant!
