Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The book Alienated America is made for elites and the political power hungry class. Instead of assuming the half of Americans who voted for Trump had logical reasons to vote for Trump, Carney, like the elites in Washington, assumes there is something wrong with voters. What social ills would cause people to vote for Trump? You can probably guess the typical derogatory answers. Ultimately, the problem is they lack social interactions and networks (social capital). The issue is not campaign statements, "Here is what I plan to do, may I have your vote?" The issue is, "Why did you vote for Trump and how can your problem be fixed?" Carney's book is steeped in superficial research data bits which outweigh and bury honor and respect for human thought. For example, research data indicates the Hajj makes people in Bangladesh feel better than those who don't get to go on a Hajj. Therefore, Americans might feel better by participating in some religious undertaking like a Hajj. The answer to the problem of Trump country is to join a church or club. If Trump voters joined churches and Rotary Clubs, they might vote for Romney next time. If you like a book that talks down to you, this book is for you.
