F*ck Silence

Calling Trump Out for the Cultish, Moronic, Authoritarian Con Man He Is

De: Joe Walsh

Narrado por: Joe Walsh

Donald Trump is the exact threat our Founding Fathers feared.

Joe Walsh is as rock-ribbed a conservative as they come. But he believes that no right-wing policy victory is worth the loss of our very democracy.

In this clear-eyed and unsparing audiobook, Walsh makes the case that Trump has more in common with the foreign dictators he praises publicly than a predecessor like Ronald Reagan. Trump is an existential threat to conservatism, the presidency, and national unity.

He has violated the Constitution in plain sight, assaulted democratic institutions, overwhelmed the country with disinformation, erected around himself a cult of personality, and governed according to his narcissism more than any discernible political philosophy.

Though Walsh agrees with Trump that the Washington elite has hung working-class America out to dry, traveling down the road to despotism is no response. And now, a person who places himself above the rule of law and accountability sits in the Oval Office - all that’s missing is a big, beautiful throne behind the Resolute Desk. In F*ck Silence, Walsh challenges his countrymen, especially his fellow conservatives, to acknowledge and oppose this unpatriotic and un-American behavior before we give away what made America great in the first place: our democracy.

Loved it!! Nothing better than listening to a Republican who disagrees with Trump as much as so many do. Vote for America in November 2020, not Trump!!

Trump May Unite Us Yet

I disagree with Walsh on literally every policy issue but this book shows his aptitude for critical thinking, judgement, and reasoning. It provides a blow-by-blow of Trump’s egregious behavior, explaining why it’s damaging to our country and the consequences of the complicity of republican lawmakers.

Walsh is able to express his own political beliefs without alienating his audience that disagrees with his positions, as well as express criticisms of the Obama administration with reasoned arguments (that I may or may not agree with) drawing a comparison between the two administrations and the hypocrisy of the current GOP. While also owning his part in using damaging rhetoric in the past.

As a liberal, I respect Walsh’s ability to have an honest conversation, calling out the facts and speaking truth to bullshit. Maybe it’s our common enemy, but this is the kind of discourse needed to help to start healing our divisions and actually listen to each other.

More Bulls*hit

Same old hate Trump speech...nothing new. Joe is a one sided biased political loser that has a ax to grind. Time to move on Joe, we have heard it all before.
