Produktbeschreibung

Here's a funny story: I wrote this book by accident. After completing my book, "A Brief History of the Ideas of Western Philosophy," at age 40, I decided that I had written enough, and that I was finished writing, and I would spend my free time doing other things. Three months later, I had a crisis of faith, in which I decided that maybe it was time for me to leave the Libertarian Party and join the Republican Party, because I wanted to see real change happen during my life, and I knew that, to enact change, you have to get your person elected, and the Libertarian Party didn't seem to ever have enough votes, but the GOP had enough voters to maybe sometimes win. Perhaps, given my intense interest in politics, it was time to abandon my status as an independent outsider reformer, and join the two-party system.
To evaluate this belief, and to test my hypothesis, I attended the monthly meeting of my local town GOP. The meeting lasted a solid two hours. A few hours later, I wrote up a set of notes, for my own personal use, in order to record the thoughts and observations I had obtained from that experience, simply for my own memory.
But, the next day, in horror, I realized that the notes I had written were roughly 35 pages long, and formed a coherent essay, and that it was good enough to deserve to be published. I had written a book by accident. So I polished my notes and turned them into this book.
However, this essay is not like any of my dozens of other essays: this essay is a work of politics, but it is not political philosophy; instead, I would say that, if I had to categorize it, it is a work of pure, true political science. The essay offers a critique of politics in general, and then offers specific criticisms of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
So here, for your reading enjoyment, is my book.

Autorenporträt

Russell Hasan was born the son of a white Jewish mother and a dark-skinned Muslim fatherand that isn't the strangest thing about him. His father had ties to the mafianope, not the weirdest thing about him. He thought he was a gay man for many years before realizing he is agender asexualrelatively normal compared to what truly makes him strange. Do you want to know what the weirdest, strangest thing about Russell is?

He's a WRITER.

Yes, that's right. He writes. Why? How? Why would he want to do that to himself? How could he allow this to happen to himself? He is still trying to figure that one out. Therapy can cure lots of things and alcohol and drugs can cure other things, but the only cure for being a writer is to write, so he writes. He's not into BDSM, yet for some reason he has chosen to punish himself by having a passion for writing and a need to write. Despite having made the huge mistake of choosing to be a writer, his books have sold over 10,000 copies, so perhaps it was not the worst mistake he ever made after all. He does not have one particular bestseller but has instead spread those 10,000 sales across many books he wrote. His magical journey of self-torture begins when he has the idea for a new book, and then continues when he wakes up at 6am to write from 6am to 8am before work every day (he has a day jobhe's not insane! His day job is being a lawyer, the most boring, evil job in the world, by the way), and, after many cups of Starbucks matcha tea and Coca Cola (never Pepsiyuck!) he somehow puts words onto a page. He has written 30 books, both nonfiction and fiction, but, as something of a twist on the traditional successful indie author model, he is known more for his indie nonfiction, not his fiction. But he does write fiction. Some of his fiction is good too, probably, he hopes.
