The John Birch Society is a far-right political organization that was founded in 1958. These people were involved in some very questionable activities and took some very immature and questionable political stances. The book follows the timeline from conception to current. It is disgusting to me to see so many of these ideas still being shouted about to this very day. I listened to this book at work, and I am genuinely not sure how I managed to get any work done for rolling my eyes at the statements that were quoted in this book. Simultaneously, I kept thinking that all of the ridiculousness in this book really explains a lot about why so many of my family members are the way that they are. Vapid and rabid are two words that would describe the bulk of followers involved in this organization and these beliefs, especially once you do a quick Google search and see who supports this organization today. The book was very informative, despite being eye roll inducing, and I did learn a lot about this group and their activities over the years.
