F*ck Silence: Calling Trump Out for the Cultish, Moronic, Authoritarian Con Man He Is
4/5
()
About this audiobook
Donald Trump is the exact threat our Founding Fathers feared.
Joe Walsh is as rock-ribbed a conservative as they come. But he believes that no right-wing policy victory is worth the loss of our very democracy.
In this clear-eyed and unsparing book, Walsh makes the case that Trump has more in common with the foreign dictators he praises publicly than a predecessor like Ronald Reagan. Trump is an existential threat to conservatism, the presidency, and national unity. He has violated the Constitution in plain sight, assaulted democratic institutions, overwhelmed the country with disinformation, erected around himself a cult of personality, and governed according to his narcissism more than any discernable political philosophy.
Though Walsh agrees with Trump that the Washington elite has hung working-class America out to dry, traveling down the road to despotism is no response. And now a person who places himself above the rule of law and accountability sits in the Oval Office—all that’s missing is a big, beautiful throne behind the Resolute Desk.
In F*ck Silence, Walsh challenges his countrymen, especially his fellow conservatives, to acknowledge and oppose this unpatriotic and un-American behavior before we give away what made America great in the first place: our democracy.
Joe Walsh
Joe Walsh is a former Illinois congressman elected to Congress in the Tea Party wave of 2010. Following his service in Congress, Walsh became one of the most popular conservative talk radio hosts in the country, syndicated in major markets throughout the U.S.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Straight forward truth about the liar in chief I wish he had seen that before he voted for the party instead of the man
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Hopefully it is becoming obvious that the cult level hate expected of liberals is pure propaganda. The corrupt, grifter politicians have been willing to literally murder scores of people to protect their privilege and power. The more they attack Trump the more I know he is right.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Great book. Should be read or listened to by many.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Joe Walsh is an intelligent articulate writer. I disagree with many of his policy ideas. How ever his take on Trump is spot on in my opinion.
The biggest problem I have with you and other conservatives is that you couldn’t see what a disaster He was going to be for our country before he ever got in office. Did you not read anything about him or see anything that alerted you to what was coming from this self-serving sack of crapp. ? So much has happened because of him and his cult of followers since you wrote this book and so many republicans are still licking his boots that I believe this country is in more grave danger of losing our democracy than it ever has been. Republicans are no longer republicans but Trump cowards. Thank you for speaking up but you’re kind of late. Some of us have been screaming this about Trump from the beginning but you wouldn’t listen.1 person found this helpful
