Republican Like Me: How I Left the Liberal Bubble and Learned to Love the Right - Political Memoir & Conservative Transformation Story - Perfect for Political Science Students and American Politics Enthusiasts

Let me preface this with the following: I've identified with the Republican Party my whole life, but have never been pig hunting, to a Nascar race, or know any Evangelicals (that I am aware of). I grew up in New England, went to Prep School and served in the military. I live in the DC Metro area and am surrounded by more liberals than conservatives and by more people not born in the US than born here. I am friends with many Muslims, the majority of whom, believe it or not, vote Republican. Given that, one thing I am puzzled by is how different the author's interpretation of a Republican is. But I guess that just shows me how out of touch I am in regards to how out of touch many Democrats must be towards Republicans...I'm a good way through the audio version and so far I really like the book. The author provides solid statistics and the stories are engaging and funny. I should note that I tried to purchase the physical copy of the book (I like to go back and review things, and let others borrow books). Much to my surprise the Books A Million at the Dulles Town Center did NOT have the book in the store. When I asked the employee behind the counter if he had Ken Stern's new book I could see the disdain in his eyes when he read the title that popped up on screen. I could tell he was not a fan of Republicans. No big surprise there. I asked if he expected them to get it in. He gave me a sigh and a curt, "no."The only minor critique I have of the audio version is that the author/narrator doesn't annunciate all of the words, but overall he did a great job of writing his story and of doing the narration. Perhaps the guy behind the counter at Book A Million could benefit from reading this book.
