Well, I'm not American, but I find an interesting parallel in the problems plaguing American politics to what I'm seeing around me. (Not that I'm well-versed about these topics. I rarely follow the news nowadays.) I find the concept of the "silent majority" fascinating, and I'm more amazed that the author actually quantified the number and provided a concrete estimate. (I mean, I'd like to find out whether this "majority" also exists around me because the number of political extremists is just so disheartening. But maybe that's just in social media. Or at least, I hope that's just in social media.) Anyway, thanks for this review! Got a lot of things to think about now.

When the author mentioned 40 percent, I could not believe my eyes! I think the media and both parties ignore it or ridicule it because it is a frightening thought. Since reading the book, I find myself wondering what is going to produce the spark that gets this revolution going? If the number is that high, and the grumbles are that loud, then eventually we should see it happen. Thank you for reading my review. It’s a book that will really make you rethink what you know!

Thanks for this well written review. Details which are provided in the book are eye opening for many Americans. Nice job.
