Lofgren was a long time Republican operative in Congress who after retirement walked away from his party in disgust. This book is his look back in anger at a political party he once believed in but watched being taken over by theocrats who want to use the power of government to impose their religious beliefs on others and by plutocrats who care about nothing but rewarding the billionaires who bankroll their reelection campaigns with tax cuts and no-bid contracts. He has no kind words for the Democrats who talk about supporting the middle class and the poor but pursue the exact same plutocrat favoring economic policies and militaristic foreign policy. Basically you can order from the Republic side or the menu or the Democrat side but the meal is prepared in the same Wall Street kitchen.
