Summary
A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it’s taken us 250 years to build—and they’ll start by canceling our shared history， ideals， and culture。
Traditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing。 We can’t agree on what makes America special。 We can’t even agree that America is special。 We’re coming to the point that we can’t even agree what the word America itself means。 “Disintegrationists” say we’re stronger together， but their assault on America’s history， philosophy， and culture will only tear us apart。
Who are the disintegrationists？ From Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States to the New York Times’ 1619 project， many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions， a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning。 They see American philosophy as a lie – beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system。 They see America’s culture of rights as a façade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power， instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals。
Disintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief， from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities， with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government。
This twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional “unionist” understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals。
How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves， our history， and reality itself—to be unionists instead of disintegrationists。 Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don’t recover these shared truths， our future—our union—as a great country is threatened with destruction。

Recent elections clearly show two parties having completely differing worldviews。 Ben Shapiro writes and narrates an excellent historical account of the United States describing Leftist Progressives as Disintegrationists and those who want to uphold the US Constitution， Conservatives， as Unionists。 His choice of labels is befitting because， like the US Civil War， one side wants to break the Union while the other fights to preserve it。 Understanding history is so important because it can reflect Recent elections clearly show two parties having completely differing worldviews。 Ben Shapiro writes and narrates an excellent historical account of the United States describing Leftist Progressives as Disintegrationists and those who want to uphold the US Constitution， Conservatives， as Unionists。 His choice of labels is befitting because， like the US Civil War， one side wants to break the Union while the other fights to preserve it。 Understanding history is so important because it can reflect upon a nation's people as either good or bad。 The truth is that history is full of people who are both good and bad vying for the same location， treasure， and power。 The results are survivals of the fittest and the means are oftentimes cruel and alarming。 Shapiro clarifies that despite mankind's atrocities， much good results from the outcomes of clashing cultures。Shapiro astutely informs how this Disintegrationist movement exists stronger today than ever。 Its chief proponents are many Liberal professors and teachers in college， middle-schools， and even in grade schools。 Their agenda is to indoctrinate America's youth in an ongoing process to eliminate the Bill of Rights and rewrite the US Constitution。 The mainstream media （MSM） is also in bed with the Left。 The author aptly identifies Disintegrationists as un-American。 The alarm this book rings， backed by citations of evidence， is the destruction of these United States of America with a seductive， subversive view that America is an evil entrenched in a society that must be overthrown to deliver a fair and just government that is centralized to properly take care of its citizens。 This viewpoint denies that unalienable rights exist and asserts that only government can provide solutions to America's problems。 The United States history begins in 1776 with the Revolutionary War。 Disintegrationists say that 1619， the advent of the first black slave brought to this country， marks its inception， even though America did not exist， then。 It is a colony of the British Empire at that time。 This book concludes with hope and thankfulness。 Disintegrationists want to divide Americans to conquer America。 Unionists want to unite Americans because that is what makes us great。 Regardless of faults or differences， man can rise above these challenges with love in their heart for their fellow man。 This freedom is protected by the US Constitution which stands the test of time as the greatest document of its kind。 。。。more

It was not an easy book to read， not from the philosophical and political point of view， but from the structure in which it was written it was an experience。 Ben is much easier to listen to than to try and collectively take in the vocabulary。For anyone that wants to understand where conservatives stand on when looking at often far left individuals in the United States， this is the book to read。 This is a grand mixture of philosophy， cultural understanding， history， and relevance in todays politi It was not an easy book to read， not from the philosophical and political point of view， but from the structure in which it was written it was an experience。 Ben is much easier to listen to than to try and collectively take in the vocabulary。For anyone that wants to understand where conservatives stand on when looking at often far left individuals in the United States， this is the book to read。 This is a grand mixture of philosophy， cultural understanding， history， and relevance in todays politics。 。。。more

Great read about the right-wing politics in the USA。 I definitely left feeling more edified and confident in the Constitutional Federal Republic that we have。

It is somewhat intellectual and， as an audiobook， sometimes hard to follow。 I think it would have been better as a eBook or in printed form。 That said， it was very interesting and I learned some new things。 Insightful。

Until I read this book， I had no idea about the difference between American government and British government。I also didn’t understand that the whole point of the American constitution was to limit the powers of government and protect “God given” （bequeathed by a power above the government） rights。After reading this， a whole raft of issues - civil liberties， small government， gun ownership， etc make a lot more sense。I’m not saying I support them all， but at least I understand the American Conser Until I read this book， I had no idea about the difference between American government and British government。I also didn’t understand that the whole point of the American constitution was to limit the powers of government and protect “God given” （bequeathed by a power above the government） rights。After reading this， a whole raft of issues - civil liberties， small government， gun ownership， etc make a lot more sense。I’m not saying I support them all， but at least I understand the American Conservative point of view now。 。。。more

If you are a close-minded liberal I would pass on this book。 Plenty of bias and you may hear one of your liberal hero's get thrown under the bus。 No surprises in this book。 I have always felt that Shapiro was the same as Tucker and Hannity but I didn't feel like it was just a straight "dems are evil and morons" book。 It actually felt well thought out and focused on real issues that matter to the progress of America。 If you are are in the spectrum of classic dem to classic rep then it is worth re If you are a close-minded liberal I would pass on this book。 Plenty of bias and you may hear one of your liberal hero's get thrown under the bus。 No surprises in this book。 I have always felt that Shapiro was the same as Tucker and Hannity but I didn't feel like it was just a straight "dems are evil and morons" book。 It actually felt well thought out and focused on real issues that matter to the progress of America。 If you are are in the spectrum of classic dem to classic rep then it is worth reading。 。。。more

This book should be read by every American who values the principles on which our country was founded and wants to retain our rights， our liberty， and our freedom。 All of these are currently being threatened by Marxist， progressive ideology and， as a country， we will soon be dealing with socialism/communism unless those of us who love America for what it was meant to be stand up and take action。

Audiobook。。。What I liked:-different ways of thinking about history-an alternate voice that is intelligent and thoughtful What I didn’t like:-doing voices for those on the other side of political ideology。。。does not enhance Shapiro’s points， and in many ways undermines them as it seems like he will mock those he disagrees with -some of the arguments were hard to follow as an audiobook and I ended not feeling the book unsure of what I thought

You're done， Cuckpiro。I have made the decision to not give this book a one star due to the stupidity this book gives。 Right from the beginning， I knew that this was going to be Shapiro essentially using his writing "skills" to make the attempt to brainwash people into his dangerous philosophy。 He whines about how Mario Lopez has a family and didn't deserve to be cancelled because "he has a family。"Lopez has a fucking net worth of $25 MILLION。 His family is just fine。Furthermore， Mr。 Cuckpiro， no You're done， Cuckpiro。I have made the decision to not give this book a one star due to the stupidity this book gives。 Right from the beginning， I knew that this was going to be Shapiro essentially using his writing "skills" to make the attempt to brainwash people into his dangerous philosophy。 He whines about how Mario Lopez has a family and didn't deserve to be cancelled because "he has a family。"Lopez has a fucking net worth of $25 MILLION。 His family is just fine。Furthermore， Mr。 Cuckpiro， nobody is trying to destroy American history， or in your disgusting words， "disintegrate" American history。 I don't think he realizes the amount of people who have been tossed aside by white idiots like Mr。 Cuckpiro。 Your little theory doesn't hold any water， Cuckpiro。 Most of the American people are tired of dicks like you who think that trans people aren't real people。 It's not just straight， white men who have contributed to history。It was Matthew Shepard。 It was George Floyd。It was Victoria Woodhull。If anyone is participating in revisionist history， it's you， Cuckpiro。 。。。more

Shapiro makes himself a very polarizing figure in political radio and entertainment， but this book tones down that presence a LOT， to where he's presenting facts and history， with opinion sparingly intermingled。This book is about unionist vs。 disintegrationist agenda， pros and cons of both， and what led to each school of thought's popularity。Conservative because yes， it is Ben Shapiro， non-party in what it ultimately teaches: how to destroy a union。It's divorce。 And both parties want flatware an Shapiro makes himself a very polarizing figure in political radio and entertainment， but this book tones down that presence a LOT， to where he's presenting facts and history， with opinion sparingly intermingled。This book is about unionist vs。 disintegrationist agenda， pros and cons of both， and what led to each school of thought's popularity。Conservative because yes， it is Ben Shapiro， non-party in what it ultimately teaches: how to destroy a union。It's divorce。 And both parties want flatware and the dog。Shapiro narrates on Audible。 Enjoyed his performance。 🌠🌠🌠🌠/5 。。。more

A concise， digestable argument for modern conservatism in the context of American philosophy， culture， and history。 Shapiro outlines the growing conflict between Unionists — those proud of our nation's staggering acheivments and rich （though troubled） history — and the Disintegrationists — those who seek to dissolve the "mystic chords of memory" that tie is together as a nation。 A concise， digestable argument for modern conservatism in the context of American philosophy， culture， and history。 Shapiro outlines the growing conflict between Unionists — those proud of our nation's staggering acheivments and rich （though troubled） history — and the Disintegrationists — those who seek to dissolve the "mystic chords of memory" that tie is together as a nation。 。。。more

Shapiro creates sound， logical points， as he always does。 His writing style - carefully framed， factual and pointed- doesn't always make for exciting reading。There is the odd flash - a punchy turn of phrase - that reminds you of his synonymous radio show for the Daily Wire - but the first half of the book becomes bogged down with overly lengthy， exhausting phraseology。For anyone familiar with Shapiro， there won't be much new ground here。 It's a fine， restatement of his view on the current predic Shapiro creates sound， logical points， as he always does。 His writing style - carefully framed， factual and pointed- doesn't always make for exciting reading。There is the odd flash - a punchy turn of phrase - that reminds you of his synonymous radio show for the Daily Wire - but the first half of the book becomes bogged down with overly lengthy， exhausting phraseology。For anyone familiar with Shapiro， there won't be much new ground here。 It's a fine， restatement of his view on the current predicament facing American politics。 He's carefully sourced and makes a few great points that are relevent in pushing back against the over-reach of the left。He breaks the book down into three， logical step-by-step arguments of what he believes are the causation of the culture wars; American culture， philosophy and history。 He challenges each notion of the 'disintergrationalists' in essay-writing prefectism。 He has a sharp understanding of American history and the founding father's。 He's relatively even handed， considering his firm conservative views。It all amounts to a fairly solid， if unexciting book。 Shapiro is a gifted orator， however his writing leaves something， if not alot， to be desired。 。。。more

Informative This book was great。 Why？ Because it lays out the facts， the truth， about America。 It teaches you what to look out for that will tear us apart。 It’s a plan， it’s a history and it’s relevant。 Ben has written an important book。

I have few words。 Mainly I guess I'd say I could have done without Shapiro's impersonations of Beto， Bernie， Alexandria， and Obama。 I could have sat through this audiobook with some relative respect in terms of giving the dude his fair shot at compelling me even a millimeter with his arguments。 But sadly he can't help himself and it was an uphill struggle to shovel through the dog feces。If you find yourself here out of irony or some wanting of understanding save yourself the heartache。 I recomme I have few words。 Mainly I guess I'd say I could have done without Shapiro's impersonations of Beto， Bernie， Alexandria， and Obama。 I could have sat through this audiobook with some relative respect in terms of giving the dude his fair shot at compelling me even a millimeter with his arguments。 But sadly he can't help himself and it was an uphill struggle to shovel through the dog feces。If you find yourself here out of irony or some wanting of understanding save yourself the heartache。 I recommend Ezra Klein's "Why We're Polarized" for a genuinely compelling analysis of the state we're in。 。。。more

It doesn't matter what your thoughts of Shapiro are。 The topic of this book is so important to today that it's a must read。Shapiro argues that the founding of America was made with good intentions。 He refers to this as the "Unionist" view。 He then counteracts the opposite claims that we all too often see， peddled by those in what he calls the "Disintegrationist" view。 It doesn't matter what your thoughts of Shapiro are。 The topic of this book is so important to today that it's a must read。Shapiro argues that the founding of America was made with good intentions。 He refers to this as the "Unionist" view。 He then counteracts the opposite claims that we all too often see， peddled by those in what he calls the "Disintegrationist" view。 。。。more
