He examines the way America sees itself, specifically with regard to the propaganda surrounding America's origins (like a heavy-metal Howard Zinn), while also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true-blue American. Taylor likewise takes a look at how the world views us, and his findings should come as a surprise to no one. But behind Taylor's ranting and raving is a thoughtful and intelligent consideration, and even a sadness, of what America is compared to what it could and should be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Expertly balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor examines the rotting core of America, evaluating everything from politics and race relations to modern family dynamics, millennials, and \"man buns.\" No element of what constitutes America is safe from his adept and scathing eye. Continuing the wave of moral outrage begun in \u003ci\u003eYou're Making Me Hate You\u003c\/i\u003e, Taylor flawlessly skewers contemporary America in his own signature style.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorey Taylor\u003cb\u003e is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eSeven Deadly Sins, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eYou're Making Me Hate You\u003c\/i\u003e.
