In recent decades, one of the most divisive heated and charged topics of the modern world has been politics. Left or right, Republican or Democrat, conservative or liberal, the divide between people using these terms has grown thanks to campaigns to make people believe anyone associated with these terms is a certain thing that makes people angry. As the late and great John F. Kennedy once said, “Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.” In author Marcelo Brazzi’s book The Liberal Record: Everything You Need To Know, this divide is explored in detail.
In this book, the author goes to great lengths to really explore the reason such a major divide exists between liberals and conservatives. From defining the term of each identifying title to exploring the root cause of the increase in political division, keeping track of the records of the various parties and finally what individuals and groups have been willing to do to further the gap between people politically and therefore socially as well.
In this book, the author presents a well-researched, partisan and intellectual look into this politically charged and heated topic while writing in a way that feels like an honest conversation between the author and the reader; as if they are sitting in a room drinking a cup of coffee and conversing. It’s an honest approach to the topic, detailing the path that brought the world to this point and the events that led to such a widening divide. From laws based on sex and the War on Drugs to the economy and gun laws, the author does a great job of showcasing research, charts, studies and experience to highlight the pros and cons of both parties, and why neither one is the definitive party to believe in, but perhaps a happy medium could exist somewhere.
This is a book written for those interested in politics, and more specifically the divide that exists between the left and the right. It was refreshing to see a book so well researched that didn’t belittle either side, but instead approached the topic from a partisan viewpoint that allowed people to see that there are no clear definitions of Republican or Democrat, but instead individuals and groups who fuel the flames that burn between the two groups.
This is a short and easy read, and makes the political divide fall into a whole new light that should allow readers to look past political affiliations and see the honest truth of the state of the world. Rather than living life according to one party or another, the author showcases how to see the facts and live life accordingly, making for a truly fascinating read.
