We Should Improve Society Somewhat, by Matt Bors

If you think Trump is literally Hitler, and that he will refuse to leave office at the end of his term, tyrannically leading the U.S. into a post-apocalyptic wasteland, you will love Matt Bors's comic collection We Should Improve Society Somewhat.  If you think Fox News is the voice of white supremacy, you'll love the book.  If you think a wall on the southern border is a racist symbol with no practical purpose, you'll love the book.  If you believe Brett Kavanaugh was a teen rapist and that Trump is a rapist who paid Russian hookers to pee on him, you'll love this book.

If all of the above sounds pretty unhinged to you, congratulations on being a rational person who will see occasional moments of humor or insight but will mostly be bored by the standard leftist anti-Trumpism throughout.  From a historical perspective, this is a good reminder of the ridiculous, extreme predictions of the disaster of the Trump presidency during and immediately after the election.  After three years of his administration, those fears and doomsday scenarios have not played out.

Unless you're a hard-core leftist Trump hater, don't waste your time with this book.


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!
