Greg Gutfeld argues that cool people have hijacked American culture and made it dangerous. These self-appointed arbiters of taste control the news, entertainment, schools, and government. They worship terrorists while mocking soldiers. They attack business owners and push their agenda through every corner of society. Gutfeld shows how the cool manipulate others by threatening social exile. They promise that following their lead brings fulfillment while warning that resistance leads to lonely failure. This cultural takeover has infected politics, fashion, food, campuses, and personal relationships. Gutfeld presents a battle plan for fighting back. He calls for reclaiming authentic American coolness through building businesses, defending freedom, taking personal responsibility, and letting others live freely. The book targets the phonies and elitists who demand conformity to their worldview.
