Shameless

Republicans’ Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy

By: Brian Tyler Cohen

Narrated by: Brian Tyler Cohen

From the first content creator to interview President Biden, leading progressive voice Brian Tyler Cohen takes a step back from the day-to-day news cycle to explain how American politics has turned into such a dumpster fire—and what Democrats need to do to get us out of it.

In Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen lays bare the long con of the modern Republican Party. While the radical right continues hiding behind gaslighting maneuvers, artificial slogans, and hollow catchphrases, Cohen’s unflinching narrative illuminates the realities and dangers of the ever-widening gulf between the vaunted Republican brand and their actual behavior.

With a foreword by Congressman Jamie Raskin, drawing on interviews and insights from Pete Buttigieg, Mehdi Hasan, Jen Psaki, and other luminaries of the Left, Cohen reveals:

• How Republicans have leaned on their histor­ical branding to give themselves a permission structure to behave antithetically to everything they say;
• Why the mainstream media has proved itself a willing participant in this ongoing farce—particularly since the rise of toxic, sensational­ist MAGA mania; and
• What lessons Democrats can glean from a clear-eyed view of the landscape we’re operating in—and the steps we must take to rebalance our political landscape.

During this all-hands-on-deck moment in our his­tory, Shameless is essential listening for those seeking to understand our dire situation, and a rallying cry for those fighting to preserve democracy.

Inspiring - A Must-Read and Share

I listened as soon as it was released yesterday. I enjoy BTC's daily news shows on YouTube, and looked forward to the book, and boy I was inspired. Not written from an autobiographical point of view by ex Trump administration officials, instead BTC"s approach is a warning to us all (in the choir) to reach out to those who normally would vote red (or not vote at all) to turn the tide in this upcoming election!

Standing ovation

This book did not disappoint, I have been a fan of this author for over a year now and I knew he would deliver a great book just like his reporting and interviews on YouTube. I see great things ahead for Mr Cohen and I pray that I’m there to watch his success. Thanks for being here.

truth is important

I love Brian's honesty and appreciate his hard work and sincere gratitude towards others. He's well spoken as narrator and makes it easy to follow along. Some if us were made to TELL IT AS IT IS.

Appreciative Republican voter

Definitely a Democrat perspective, however, BTC makes excellent points and perspective I have never considered nor realized. There have been many firsts for me this election.

The Rampant Lies and Deceit

This book was factual, interesting, and scary. The details helped me better understand the mechanics of what is really going on with the struggles for democracy.

Brian TaylorCohen explains complex political maneuvering

I enjoyed this book. I got the audio version as I listen to Brian's podcasts daily. He is able to break down the complex nature of politics and explain it in everyday lanuage. including the whys and wherefores. This was clear and concise and I am far more educated by the end of the book.
