Review: Hatemonger
Hatemonger by Jean GuerreroMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Biography of a young man who becomes a conservative political activist who wants to save American/Western culture. During his teen years he begins to become a spokesman for conservative ideals and has the drive and good fortune to have both talk radio and public speaking experiences that make him an effective agent provocateur. The book also details the conservative moment of California in the 1980s onward.
The value of the book is its historical record of an individual who rises to preeminence in the conservative moment and shares the ideas and personalities that created the movement. Current day
political issues such as DEI and immigration and the reasons for the conservative positions is well highlighted.
