Atlantic Mag Recommends Angry Books to Make Angry Voters Even Angrier
Newsbusters ^ | November 21, 2024 | P.J. Gladnick

There is a lot of anger among the leftists in the wake of the re-election of Donald Trump. Many of them are so afflicted with TDS that their anger often seems to bleed into blind rage. So what to do? Well, The Atlantic magazine has not the cure but what they claim is the prescription. Namely they suggest reading from a recommended book list. The problem is that their book suggestions seem to be like pouring high octane fuel on the TDS fire.

Ruth Madievsky made her book suggestions on Wednesday in "What to Read If You’re Angry About the Election." The subtitle is "These seven books aren’t a cure for rage and despair. Think of them instead as a prescription." As you will see her book suggestions seem more like rubbing salt in a wound rather than a prescription.

The lefters don’t need more of it.

Should have read Atlas Shrugged, it was a primer of what the Biden/Harris Administration would do to the country. I’m surprised they never enacted Directive 10-289.

My TDS BiL had a small stroke last week. I’m sure that if he didn’t read all this wackjob leftist crap he wouldn’t have. My SiL says he’s been in a rage ever since his party got cold cocked by Trump. I’d feel more sorry for him if he didn’t express desires to see people like me put in camps. The funny thing is that he’s a big gun nut. Yet he supports the people who want to lock him up. Leftism is irrational.

Like the NYT, the “Atlantic” is once-great but now dying!

Being owned by Laurene Powell Jobs does not help!
