The MAGA Diaries: My Surreal Adventures Inside the Right-Wing (And How I Got Out) by Tina Nguyen
informative
fast-paced
2.0
Thanks to the publisher for this copy!
I stand by my usual stance that people in their thirties don’t need to release memoirs.
I think the title was meant to be an attention grab, but it leads the reader to thinking this would be about someone’s deep dive into MAGA in some way. However this is really a memoir of a woman who is a libertarian (if you forget she’ll probably tell you in the next few paragraphs) as she goes through right wing college, internships, mentorships, and her job following the the first Trump office.
There was a lot of name dropping in here and overall I was underwhelmed.
Obviously she has respect for Tucker Carlson (one of her mentors) because she couldn’t even call him out on the sexist things he has said.
