The Twisted History of the GOP

Summary

A two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning cartoonist shreds the GOP’s record of backward policies and abysmal leaders. Luckovich takes aim at the NRA, Trump, Bush, Ted Cruz, and more.
		 
The Twisted History of the GOP is an editorial cartoon exploration into the ongoing crack-up of the Republican party. Once a proud, competent counterbalance to the Democratic party, the GOP began to change in the ’90s with the arrival of Republican representative and future House Speaker Newt Gingrich to Congress, assisted by radical radio host Rush Limbaugh and a new television network, the right-wing, propaganda-spewing Fox News. In the years that followed, they were aided by Mitch McConnell and the George W. Bush and Trump administrations, in transforming the GOP into what it is now: a fascist, racist, anti-science, pro-conspiracy cult, in thrall to the twice-impeached conman and former president, Donald Trump.
		 
These cartoons will shock and delight you, and you won’t be able to look away from Luckovich’s witty editorial wisdom. Combining a rapier wit alongside exceptional caricatures, The Twisted History of the GOP will make you laugh until you cry.

    With a drink in one hand and her newly-earned degree in the other, Alida Nugent thought she was ready to trade in all-night studying and parties for the real world. She found, though, that the post-graduate life didn’t offer much of the glamor she had imagined. In a pile of bills, laundry, and three-dollar bottles of wine, it was suddenly obvious that she had no idea what she was doing. Maybe no twenty-something does. Nugent shares her experience making the awkward journey from undergrad to “mature and responsible adult that definitely never eats peanut butter straight from the jar and considers it a meal” in this snarky, heart-felt memoir.
