Publisher's Synopsis
Exploring why conservatives have lost almost every political argument since 1945, Ed West looks at this endless litany of failure from the perspective of one of the losers, in a semi-autobiographical, self-deprecating way. West delves into the idiocies of the modern right and the strange characteristics shared by conservatives, including himself, as well as offering explanations as to why people are conservative and explaining some of the benefits conservatism offers.
