I would like to help you understand the minds of Republicans and what we can do about that, which means that I have to apologize before we even start, for what I am about to expose you to. In this new series for Readers and Book Lovers we are not going to plumb the lowest depths of Redstate, Free Republic, and the like, but we do have to look at what makes the 1%, the Religious Right, the Tea Parties, the Neo-Confederates, and others tick in general, including how they got that way. The most important part is how to pry them loose from their delusions, where possible, as I wrote about in May in Undeluding the Deluded, and how to recognize when that is even worth trying. We do occasionally see Republicans of some note coming over to our side, and we know that millions of them do each year, mostly among the young.
We have a lovely collection of books to get started with, and I am looking around for more. Suggestions welcome. The list begins, of course, below the Sigil of the Great Orange Satan. Abandon derp, all ye who enter here.
