The author's painstaking research and attention to detail is obvious in the writing of this book. The author laid out the information in a manner that allowed the reader to form their own opinion.
This book was well researched and well written. I was not sure what to think prior to reading it as the topic of politics and Trump is so polarizing nowadays its hard to be rational and logical. Soave looks at how millennials are protesting and how it differs/ compares with previous generations. I love how this book didn't focus on just one end of the political spectrum. The most important aspect of this book was how it highlighted how these "protests" across universities are a means to stifle differing opinions and free speech. This topic is one that should be important for every person, regardless of how they fit on the right and left spectrum. This book also provides an excellent insight into how millennials are viewing modern political protest. I look forward to reading the sequel that will likely come out after the 2020 election *regardless of the results. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

I don't think this was quite the right book for me, not because it's a bad book but because I already knew everything the author was talking about. I've been following all the 'radical' news since it started to effect the book community. So I know just how... passionate these kind of people are. Now, I will say that it also talks about the alt-alright and discusses them as well. What I loved was how he showed the older generations and how they went after things and how my generation does it today. That was awesome. While I don't agree with everything the author says, it was pretty nifty seeing some of this stuff through another's eyes. As long as those are eyes are still reasonable and not so far gone down the rabbit hole on either side.
“I think of safety as the right of every person to leave their house or to leave wherever they live, to walk this world and to feel safe and comfortable in their own skin, in their own ways that they identify, and to not fear violence, not fear prejudice, not fear discrimination, to not fear being bothered or to not fear living." - My favorite quote
