I have many sides, and calling myself Republican, Democrat, liberal,
conservative, etc, doesn't come close to representing what I believe about
any particular issue. I suspect that's true of most people, but most people
choose one of those labels.

I don't know, let's start talking and see what develops. A viable third
party is one possibility, but that's nearly an oxymoron in our system.
Maybe changes that help make other parties viable?

I'm talking about "How to Free Your Mind in the Trump Era", of which he
writes:

  *Recently, I’ve written and posted a new free book, How to Free Your Mind
in the Trump Era. This is not a political rant, but a short essay that
offers some practical advice to anyone feeling overwhelmed by America’s
toxic political landscape. It’s also available on johntwelvehawks.com
<http://johntwelvehawks.com>
(https://www.johntwelvehawks.com/download-trump-era-ebook
<https://www.johntwelvehawks.com/download-trump-era-ebook>) and a wide
variety of public websites.*

But, no, this is new since "Against Authority". More of an essay than a
book, really.
