Descripción: Review “Billy O'Keefe's hilarious book shows us that politics makes all our friends crazy. Especially our friends who don't vote the way we want them to. Now I'm mad thinking about those friends.” ―Jen Mann, New York Times best-selling author of People I Want to Punch in the Throat "I'm right and you're WRONG AND I AM THE RIGHTEST I'VE EVER BEEN. Billy knows that feeling and got me calmed down. FOR NOW." ―G. Derek Adams, author of Asteroid Made of Dragons "O'Keefe's romp chronicles the worst of us in the best possible light. Every page is a conversation in the corner of a D.C. cocktail party―only honest." ―Gary Yordon, host of CBS TV's The Usual Suspects It happens, every day, often without warning. Normal grown adults -- completely capable ones who do things like go to work, pay bills and help their children do homework -- stumble, often accidentally, into a discussion about politics. At least, it starts as a discussion. More often than anyone cares to admit, it descends into an argument, a blowout and eventually a volleyball match of personal attacks and insults these ostensibly fully together adults didn't even know they had in them.Vibrantly illustrated and sharply but warmly written, These Are My Friends on Politics hilariously lampoons this transformation, chronicling how an election year turns the reasonable adults we aspire to be into nothing better than vicious, bickering children. From the Inside Flap A children's book for adults who occasionally behave like kids.It happens every day, often without warning: seemingly mature adults--completely capable ones who do things like work in offices, pay their bills on time, and help their children with their homework--engage in a discussion about politics. At least, it begins as a discussion. More often than anyone cares to admit, it descends into a sparring match of personal attacks and insults. Maybe it starts on social media, but too often it can land at your dinner table, your local bar, or your place of work: those seemingly mature adults descend into walking temper tantrums of madness. These Are My Friends on Politics hilariously lampoons this transformation, chronicling how an election year turns the reasonable adults we aspire to be into nothing better than vicious, bickering children.
