#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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 reading
for those seeking to understand our dire situation and a rallying cry for those fighting to
preserve democracy.
