Book Overview

A political book for non-political people from viral TikTok sensation PoliticsGirl.

Something's gone wrong in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We can all feel it, but if we're being honest, most of us don't understand it. How do you discuss the important issues if you don't have the facts? At the end of the day, if you don't know how something works, how do you fix it?

A Return to Common Sense is a concise, no bullshit, dare we say fun, guide to everything America. How our history, politics, and world events affect one another--how we got here and where we're headed. Leigh McGowan offers us a handbook, a guide to take us through how politics works in America. How the government was designed, from its founding documents to founding principles, how it's working (spoiler alert: not well), all while walking us through the major historical moments that led us to where we are today: polarized, divided, and quite frankly, a bit disappointed.

It's everything you ever wanted to know about the country but were afraid to ask--from Manifest Destiny to the filibuster, the Gilded Age to the gerrymandered states, and even how the "party of Lincoln" is not the "party" of Lincoln. Think civics bootcamp in a cheeky package.

Finally, channeling America's revolutionary spirit, McGowan presents a manifesto for reclaiming the government: the Six Fundamental Principles that all Americans, no matter their political persuasion, should be able to agree on. A new foundation for a better, freer, more cohesive nation. It's time to reboot America. We can fix it, but that starts with understanding it.
