This book was very helpful. It has many sections including how to talk to Trump supporters, bible verses to share with them, and some movie quotes that you can send to them. Best political book I have read all year.

Edit: After much thought and deliberation I decided I am horrible for not including a link to where the author will sell the pdf to you for $0 so you too can know how to talk to trump supporters. https://gumroad.com/sheaserrano

What an incredible little book with MASSIVE importance. This is a book for everyone, truly. Brilliant thought and humanity poured into it. Shea is an absolute master at putting thoughts to paper, those type of thoughts that one may have trouble putting into words. Shea does that for you. This book does that for you. Absolutely brilliant. Read this book.

[Terence Lau]

Honestly, a political masterwork. A modern masterpiece, and a treatise written for our times.

[Trevor Abenavoli]

A free book that is worth paying money for

[Jack Waters]

A timely, important read.

[Danielle]

Such a necessary read if you, like me, are dealing with strife in your personal life related to politics. I found the right words to really get the message across to my dad, and it’s brought new understanding to our relationship. Shea just has a way with words!!

[Michael]

Shea really gets to the heart of the matter for the BEST way to make a connection with people who support Donald Trump. Enlightening!

The best bit is the Bible verses.

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me, and right now the thing He is strengthening me to do is tell you to fuck off

[Brian]

A tour de force. The most important work of political journalism / self-help literature of our time. The type of book language was invented to create.

[Philip]

This was a little bit too wordy and preachy for me, but it gets the conversation going. I know it's tough to trust a book that has a 4.82 rating, but it's pretty good. My guess is that the rating is inflated by Shea Serrano fans like myself.

If you struggled with the Trump presidency, and wondered how any cross-section of America (let alone a significant cross-section) could vote for him, you'll probably read this and nod along with a lot of it. It's not all good advice, and you'll have to determine for yourself when and whether or not to use it, but you my guess is you'll agree with a lot.

And if you're a Trump supporter, and you want the inner-monologue of what a typical Lefty thinks about your vote, you'll probably get that from this book, too. But my guess is this book isn't so much for you.

In the words of CeeLo Green, "I still wish you the best."

RIP Plato you would have loved this.

[Tj Hizer]

An essential read in these trying times

[Rinku]

The greatest book I've ever read. Beautiful prose.

[Elizabeth Addison]

Shea Serrano does it again with thoughtful prose, eloquent reasoning, and truly helpful advice about how to have this difficult conversation. Everyone should read this book (it's currently free on HalfwayBooks.com). Like, right now. Yeah, you. Go read it. Seriously.

[Jessica L. Martens]

Absolutely essential reading. I could not put this down — it is deeply insightful and the prose are just masterful. Shea Serrano has given us a guidebook for our times, and I can’t wait to incorporate this into my daily life.

[Ryan Gregg]

This quick read comes at a crucial point for our fractured society. Serrano’s fourth novel answers questions people in politically-divided families might have as holiday season approaches. Would make a great gift!

[Rob Miglas]

Very insightful. 500 pages worth of information put into 64 pages. Must read.

[Erin]

Truly a masterpiece.

If you can't find the words to talk to a Tr*mp supporter, this is the book for you.

[Nathan Shuherk]

Highly recommend. It’s free right now. Won’t take you long to read, either

[Eric Smooth]

Learned a lot

[Mark Ciemcioch]

Heartfelt, moving, and inspiring. Worth every penny you can afford to support a great author (even as he makes this accessible to everyone).

[Deanna Beaton]

Yep, it's a pretty good joke.

Sorry I fell for this joke. Looking for a way to move forward, since the best I can come up with is FU. Turns out that's all this is. FU over and over again.

[Richard Mathison]

Excellent.
