Delusional Democracy: Fixing the Republic Without Overthrowing the Government
“Our constitutional republic is on life support, ravaged by the viruses of avarice and Social Darwinism. Read this amazing book to learn how you can become a part of America’s cure.”—Jason S. Miller, writer for the blog Thomas Paine’s Corner
“A masterful and comprehensive analysis of the most salient issues of our the intersection of democracy, morality, citizenship and the quality of everyday life. Anyone who is troubled by the claim that something has gone terribly wrong owes it to himself or herself to spend a few hours with this book.”—Jerry Fresia, author of Toward an American Revolution
“It matters not one iota which political party is in power, or what President holds the reins of office. We are not politicians or public thinkers; we are the rich, we own America; we got it God knows how; but we intend to keep it if we can.”—Frederick T. Martin, The Robber Barons, 1934
With false information, fake patriots uphold America’s pseudo-democracy that no longer works for the good of its citizens. Taxation with rampant mis representation requires a second American Revolution to restore America’s democracy.
Delusional Democracy connects far-ranging dots for a compelling account of America’s steady decline and presents specific actions that can reverse it.
Written for conservatives, libertarians, liberals, moderates, independents, greens, and progressives, as well as dissatisfied Democrats and Republicans, Delusional Democracy will convince readers that we the people have the power to begin American democracy over again.

This book is a valiant attempt at kick-starting American political and democratic reforms. The author does a good job laying out the shortcomings that need to be addressed. Those shortcomings start with, as the title of the book implies, a delusional belief that we actually have a a well functioning democracy where citizen voters reign supreme.
I came out of the shortcomings part of the book looking for a single silver bullet but instead got a sling shot with a wish list of 8 reforms, i.e. the reality of implementation was unfocused, lacked strategy, and the "overthrow" part of the book title notwithstanding, depended on a third party to butt heads with entrenched interests. Along with my silver bullet I was looking for a T shirt with a nice slogan on it that would convey everything and seem achievable in a reasonable time span of a few years at most. Nonetheless, I applaud the author's contribution to the cause of political and democratic reform.
