Summary
From the authors of the bestselling Babylon Bee Guide to Wokeness， and the minds behind the popular website The Babylon Bee comes a tongue-in-cheek guide to Democracy where you'll learn how to rig elections， bribe politicians， and crush your political enemies for good。
In The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy， America's favorite satirists take you into a world you might have thought was beyond parody--politics。 From closed-door meetings of bureaucrats deciding the fates of millions to preposterous lies from the campaign trail， The Bee skewers our political overlords with matchless wit。 In this visual guide， you’ll learn how to rig an election， how to stage an insurrection， which political party you should join， and more--everything you need to fully participate in the worst political system of all time （except for all the others）。

So clever！ The illustrations even make you laugh。 Satire is such a fine line， and the Bee is extraordinarily talented at cutting at just the right places。 M favorite each chapter was the shelves of the museum。 Outstanding

This book is a hit or miss collection of jokes about American democracy。 Some are funny。 Some are not。 Some are depressing。 One problem I have with the book is its repeated use of the word “murder” to describe abortion。 “Murder” is a legal term with a specific definition which does not include abortion。 The correct term is “feticide” （killing of a fetus）。 Use of the word “murder” gives an inflammatory connotation to the unfortunate practice of abortion。 It is more likely to make people angry tha This book is a hit or miss collection of jokes about American democracy。 Some are funny。 Some are not。 Some are depressing。 One problem I have with the book is its repeated use of the word “murder” to describe abortion。 “Murder” is a legal term with a specific definition which does not include abortion。 The correct term is “feticide” （killing of a fetus）。 Use of the word “murder” gives an inflammatory connotation to the unfortunate practice of abortion。 It is more likely to make people angry than to make them laugh， and we have enough anger in America already。 。。。more

No surprise here。。。 This book is AWESOME！ This is the genuine excellence that I have come to expect from The Babylon Bee。 These guys are completely hilarious。 This book is so funny that I did not put it down until I had read the entire thing！ If you love the satire of The Babylon Bee， then you MUST purchase this publication。 It is definitely WORTH the time to read it， as well as the price （which I think is pretty good。） I KNOW you'll enjoy this as much as I did。 No surprise here。。。 This book is AWESOME！ This is the genuine excellence that I have come to expect from The Babylon Bee。 These guys are completely hilarious。 This book is so funny that I did not put it down until I had read the entire thing！ If you love the satire of The Babylon Bee， then you MUST purchase this publication。 It is definitely WORTH the time to read it， as well as the price （which I think is pretty good。） I KNOW you'll enjoy this as much as I did。 。。。more

Babylon Bee’s new satirical tome on the topic of democracy and how to rig elections is not only timely in this period of mid-term elections， but is sure to send fans into fits of hysteria。 Totally irreverent as usual， the thin line between fact and fiction in today’s electrified political environment is encapsulated in this entertaining guide that explains such truths as “Twitter， a platform for free speech as long as Twitter agrees with it。” Divided into 12 chapters， the reader will devour this Babylon Bee’s new satirical tome on the topic of democracy and how to rig elections is not only timely in this period of mid-term elections， but is sure to send fans into fits of hysteria。 Totally irreverent as usual， the thin line between fact and fiction in today’s electrified political environment is encapsulated in this entertaining guide that explains such truths as “Twitter， a platform for free speech as long as Twitter agrees with it。” Divided into 12 chapters， the reader will devour this book in one sitting and come away with enough knowledge on the three branches of government as well as everything they need to know about insurrections and constitutional rights to assist at the ballot box。 Finally， Americans can understand the real differences among the political parties， according to the Babylon Bee， and why we Republicans love Mike Lindell！ 。。。more

Excellent satirical presentation of what is going on in our upside down world。 Giggles guaranteed。 Will inspire truth lovers to explore the facts。 Democracy is not to be taken lightly。 It belongs to ALL！ Thank you to The Bee for pointing out the absurdity of current day political nonsense。 Long Live THE BEE！！

High marks to those involved in the authorship of The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy for the level of creativity and not a little humor。 However， anyone graduated from high school in the last 40+ years will be as confused and constitutionally ignorant after as before reading。 For those with a firm grasp of how our Republic is （supposed to be） organized and governed， the au courant cultural references are a humorous sidelight， and easily separated from the serious content。 Without that grasp， for High marks to those involved in the authorship of The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy for the level of creativity and not a little humor。 However， anyone graduated from high school in the last 40+ years will be as confused and constitutionally ignorant after as before reading。 For those with a firm grasp of how our Republic is （supposed to be） organized and governed， the au courant cultural references are a humorous sidelight， and easily separated from the serious content。 Without that grasp， for those who never saw the Constitution， Bill of Rights， or Declaration of Independence in their so-called 'education，' trying to reconcile what amount to gratuitous cultural references with the facts nearly hidden within the book will only be confusing。 As a curiosity or entertainment for those who are constitutionally educated， the book is good fun。 But for those who are not， it will do nothing to promote a better understanding and conceivably leave the reader more lost than when he started。 Given the general dearth of knowledge about our system of government， perhaps the project should have been undertaken in a more serious vein by Not the Bee。 。。。more

America isn’t a democracy， but like our politicians， the Bee doesn’t let that little fact get in the way of a great narrative！ I love this book because the Babylon Bee dumbs down our government system and its practices to my level and made me laugh （and even cry a little at the absurd truth of it）。 In a time when we all take our opinions way too seriously， this book gives us a chance to laugh—mostly at others， and maybe even a little at ourselves。

The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy takes us from the beginnings of government in history up through today。 It describes the early civilizations’ trying out their versions of democracy and follows the differing forms it has taken throughout history。 All of this is done， of course， with the Babylon Bee’s unique and somewhat tongue-in-cheek writing style。 I think one of my favorite parts is the glossary at the end of the book。 The definitions are often close to what I thought the definition would b The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy takes us from the beginnings of government in history up through today。 It describes the early civilizations’ trying out their versions of democracy and follows the differing forms it has taken throughout history。 All of this is done， of course， with the Babylon Bee’s unique and somewhat tongue-in-cheek writing style。 I think one of my favorite parts is the glossary at the end of the book。 The definitions are often close to what I thought the definition would be， but they have put their spin of truthfulness on the accepted definition。 All in all， it was a great read。 Just be careful where you choose to read it。 You will find yourself laughing out loud and will probably receive some very strange looks。 。。。more

I am clearly biased toward the Babylon Bee’s style of satire。 Like all comedy， not every joke will hit the mark。 But overall， they go a great job， IMO， at pointing out how ridiculous culture and politics have become in the 2020’s。 The BBGtD+ was an enjoyable read， if almost exactly what I expected。 When consuming right-leaning content， I find myself maybe-too-aware of whether all the jokes are being made at the expense of the other side。 That’s not an issue with the Guide to Democracy。 I appreci I am clearly biased toward the Babylon Bee’s style of satire。 Like all comedy， not every joke will hit the mark。 But overall， they go a great job， IMO， at pointing out how ridiculous culture and politics have become in the 2020’s。 The BBGtD+ was an enjoyable read， if almost exactly what I expected。 When consuming right-leaning content， I find myself maybe-too-aware of whether all the jokes are being made at the expense of the other side。 That’s not an issue with the Guide to Democracy。 I appreciated that the Bee didn’t hesitate to call out the right’s silliness at various points in the book。 I wish the left would be as willing to take their own to task。The book itself was funny。 And sad。 But also funny， which is what I expect from the Bee。 I’m glad I read it。 。。。more

As an esteemed adjunct， online community college professor of My Personal Opinion Studies， it is important for me to explore all sides of important issues， even if a side is stupid and wrong like The Babylon Bee's。 I read The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy so you don’t have to。 Let’s dive in。No trigger warnings！ There are pictures of white men， American flags and Rand Paul and not a one has a trigger warning or an alert to sensitive content。 Page twenty-five features an illustration of the Decla As an esteemed adjunct， online community college professor of My Personal Opinion Studies， it is important for me to explore all sides of important issues， even if a side is stupid and wrong like The Babylon Bee's。 I read The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy so you don’t have to。 Let’s dive in。No trigger warnings！ There are pictures of white men， American flags and Rand Paul and not a one has a trigger warning or an alert to sensitive content。 Page twenty-five features an illustration of the Declaration of Independence with no notice that the reader is about to encounter violence and transphobia。 This is irresponsible and literally assault！ After you read page twenty-four， close your eyes and turn two pages to avoid trauma and misogyny。 Please note that I have decided that the line drawing of Jordan Peterson in chapter three does not require a trigger warning because it’s a terrible likeness and doesn’t even look like him。 The Guide to Democracy is organized chronologically from our patriarchal beginnings， through the development of our systematically racist government。 The information about the Legislative branch is well-researched but is simply a poor imitation of "Just a Bill on Capitol Hill” from School House Rock。 Highlights include “How to Identify a Republican” （hint-look beyond the MAGA hat） and a picture of RBG in a crown。 These were offset， however， by depictions of （trigger warning） Donald Trump， firearms， Tucker Carlson， Christians and several mentions of Fox News。 While I believe that books such as The Babylon Bee Guide to Democracy， are valuable for academics such as myself and my colleagues at the Community College， they are dangerous in the hands of average citizens。 For that reason， I recommend you skip this “guide” and read one of those gay sex books they have in middle school libraries these days instead。 。。。more

The Babylon Bee does it again with its spot on historically accurate book on how America is definitely a democracy。 Even the newest Federal Department the All-Powerful League of Muscular Badgers gives this book five freaking stars。 I learned so much about the four branches of government and if you thought there were only three， then you need to read this book！ Get it now and just a warning， Don't Touch the Gavel 😉 The Babylon Bee does it again with its spot on historically accurate book on how America is definitely a democracy。 Even the newest Federal Department the All-Powerful League of Muscular Badgers gives this book five freaking stars。 I learned so much about the four branches of government and if you thought there were only three， then you need to read this book！ Get it now and just a warning， Don't Touch the Gavel 😉 。。。more

This book is hilarious but also a bit depressing because so much of it is true。 I highly recommend reading it though since the Bee is known to be prophetic and you don’t want to be blindsided by future political events。

This book is in many ways a disappointment BBs satire is consistently on point and this one misses the mark in many places。 I gave it a higher rating that might be justified because there are some genuinely funny parts - but a lot of it is labored。 I relied on the last book because it came to a consistently high standard of humor but this one is lame in several places。 The last BB book I read was one on Pilgrims Progress - which was consistently funny。 But this one simply does not meet the stand This book is in many ways a disappointment BBs satire is consistently on point and this one misses the mark in many places。 I gave it a higher rating that might be justified because there are some genuinely funny parts - but a lot of it is labored。 I relied on the last book because it came to a consistently high standard of humor but this one is lame in several places。 The last BB book I read was one on Pilgrims Progress - which was consistently funny。 But this one simply does not meet the standard。 That book required some knowledge of PP and its' emphasis on poking fun never diminished。 IN this case the book brushes over some topics it should not and struggles through some other areas where with a bit more care we could have had some Swiftian satire。Perhaps the funniest parts are the comparisons of what is said and what is meant。 But many parts of the book simply don't meet the exceptionally high standards of BB。 。。。more

Like other reviewers， I found the book on point but not as satirically funny as other efforts。 Some of the visuals in the early version were hard to read but I assume that will not appear in the released book。 Some of the satire was hard to follow for me but it did make me think and I eventually got it！ I obviously bought the book and would do so again after having read it。 I will probably send copies to Grandchildren who have been very under-educated in how the Government actually works and why Like other reviewers， I found the book on point but not as satirically funny as other efforts。 Some of the visuals in the early version were hard to read but I assume that will not appear in the released book。 Some of the satire was hard to follow for me but it did make me think and I eventually got it！ I obviously bought the book and would do so again after having read it。 I will probably send copies to Grandchildren who have been very under-educated in how the Government actually works and why the framers set up the constitution the way they did。 。。。more

If you don't like satire， or have no sense of humor， this book is not for you。 However， if you have a sense of humor and like satire you will love this book。 The Babylon Bee are masters of satire！ I got an advance pdf copy of this book and laughed from start to finish！ The book will be available to the general public on September 6th。 Highly recommend getting yourself of copy of this book， and maybe a few copies for friends and family！ If you don't like satire， or have no sense of humor， this book is not for you。 However， if you have a sense of humor and like satire you will love this book。 The Babylon Bee are masters of satire！ I got an advance pdf copy of this book and laughed from start to finish！ The book will be available to the general public on September 6th。 Highly recommend getting yourself of copy of this book， and maybe a few copies for friends and family！ 。。。more
