I gave this book 1.25 stars because Owens does have some valid critiques of both the Democratic Party and ways that they and others have historically harmed Black Americans while claiming to be saviors. Despite that, however, the problem with the book is that rather than serving as a systemic critique of the party and its failings in this regard, this book is a right-wing propaganda piece that traffics in blatant lies, wild exaggerations, and the framing of subjective interpretation as objective fact. The aforementioned important historical context that Owens employs is often used to immediately justify bits of propaganda that have no connection to what she cites (such as her use of the fact that LBJ was a virulent racist who passed civil rights legislation out of political expediency, which is true, to claim that the Republican Party is the only true party dedicated to civil rights), or which blatantly distort said truth, and she pairs them right beside utterly ahistorical contentions or claims which sound more at home in the depths of 4chan (such as claiming that Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and other modern entertainment figures are poisoning the minds of the youth into passively accepting the dominance of idols whom the Democrats control like puppets, or claiming that Antifa is one contiguous group that serves as the heir to the KKK and acting like the right doesn't have analogous groups that soemtimes employ extralegal and violent means to achieve political aims).

Like most such political manifestos in this vein, the book takes some salient criticisms and instances of hypocrisy of those they critique and use these to spin narratives which this information doesn't justify.
