Don’t Talk About Politics
By Sarah Stein Lubrano
Bloomsbury Publishing
I’ve been thinking about this book every time I see another protest against our provincial government or the U.S. government, such as the No Kings rallies. Namely, that research Lubrano has undertaken in her two home countries of the U.S. and the U.K. shows that millions of people can show up with their signs and their slogans, but the results will be disappointing. Why? Because the people being protested don’t care. They’ll turn off the TV and push forward with their agendas despite the anger. So what’s a frustrated populace to do? Lubrano’s got some ideas. It’s worth the read to find out what she suggests.
