We get such a kick out of the unmitigated hatred that sad, pathetic people with empty personal lives are capable of putting forth onto the internet that sometimes we’ve just got to share their products with the world.

And a perfect case of that can be seen at Amazon in the wake of The Revivalist Manifesto having a sales boomlet thanks to a hit piece CNN posted on its website two weeks ago. That story was an attack on House Speaker Mike Johnson, who wrote the foreword for the book, and no sooner did it hit the internet but the book took a sizable jump in sales – so much so that for about a week it sat at Number 1 on Amazon’s Comparative Politics chart.

What we knew without doubt was that the book’s newfound attention would lead to a host of unhinged and hostile reviews from the keyboard commandos of the Left, precisely none of whom would have actually read it. And we weren’t disappointed. Here are a few…

1.0 out of 5 stars Gay phophia

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

What a piece of trach book w no analysis and no contribution to moving America forward. Just showing obsession with race and sexual orientation.

You attack the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigeieg “Buttigieg is a rather queer choice for Transportation Secretary. Not just because he’s a member of the LGBT community, and obviously so.” So what does gay have anything to do with being Secretary of Transportation? Just showing you have bs facts and don’t have any real arguments about his performance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Retro Early 20th Century Ideology Purporting to be “New”

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

Wouldn’t even rate it one star. The author claims this book is about “the American people are thirsty for something new in politics,” while espousing nothing but retreaded conservative early 20th century identity ideology. There is nothing “new” about this unless you have no conception of American politics from over a century ago. You get the sense that he is writing for an audience that would actually prefer to return our political power structure and social structure to a pre 1860 mindset.

1.0 out of 5 stars IGNORANCE

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

This book is unadulterated hogwash. It is filled with predigested thoughts and claims and is thereby so very, very dangerous to our democracy. Representative Mike Johnson, now Mr. Speaker, is utterly, utterly wrong in saying “the Left has abandoned all ties to conscience, common sense, and the Constitution.” Warning: Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge. So stated Alfred North Whitehead in his seminal The Aims of Education and McKay’s book is filled to the brim with ignorance.

1.0 out of 5 stars REPULSIVE HATRED

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

The GOP says if you are not a rich white man you do not deserve to lead. Their continued hatred of LGBTQ, of Black and Brown people, of women, is NOT evangelical Christianity, as they like to pretend. This white man is hateful and his ideas are hateful. Makes me mad and makes me cry. Woe, America.

1.0 out of 5 stars A book to burn

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

This book is for the ban pile. With a foreword by the christofascist newly anointed Speaker of the House, and the attacks on Secretary of Transportation Pete for being homosexual, this book reads like nothing more than an anti-democratic, unconstitutional, bible-thumping “manifesto.” Keep your “revival” and your church where Hamilton said it belongs-separate from the state.

Actually, only read a little before vomiting. Not the first book aimed at non-readers.
