Political Survival 101: A Humorous Guide For The Election-Weary

Pessimistic Satirical Look At Politics For The Millennial And Younger Crowds. First, let me address why I specifically say this is for the younger crowds: Every chapter ends with an image that, in the print edition at least, is a coloring sheet. Yes, you read that right. This is, partially and only in the print edition, a coloring book. Even the last text section before the coloring sheet is a suggestion of how you might want to color it, based on the image at hand and the commentary of that particular chapter.<br/><br/>As to the actual text, it is exactly what I said above - a satirical, if perhaps a touch pessimistic, look at all things politics, including how so many stereotypical politicians act so much of the time. Which means that at least in a certain vein, it absolutely does ease political stress with a bit of humor - if perhaps landing a touch close to one's actual views of the subject.<br/><br/>The coloring sheets, while infantilizing - arguably one of the *last* things we need to be doing with this set of younger adults (to be clear, including those of even my own Xennial generation) - are at least a solid attempt at humor whose landing will depend more on personal taste.<br/><br/>Overall a fun, light, funny-enough book that never takes itself to seriously and is in fact a good way to try to have a laugh.<br/><br/>Very much recommended.
