By Ted Rall

In this era of cancel culture and social media mobs, it's more important than ever to have a voice that speaks truth to power. Ted Rall is that voice. As a political cartoonist for over 30 years, he's been on the front lines of the culture wars, skewering both the left and the right with his biting wit and incisive commentary.

Now, in his new book, Enemy of the People, Rall tells the story of his own journey through the surreal world of political correctness. From being labeled a "racist" for criticizing affirmative action to being accused of "Islamophobia" for drawing cartoons about terrorism, Rall has seen it all. But he's never backed down from a fight, and he's never stopped speaking his mind.

In Enemy of the People, Rall takes readers on a behind-the-scenes tour of the world of political cartooning. He shares his thoughts on everything from the rise of Donald Trump to the decline of the mainstream media. He also offers a trenchant critique of the left's embrace of identity politics and the right's descent into authoritarianism.

Rall's cartoons are often provocative, but they're always thought-provoking. He's not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom, and he's not afraid to offend. But he's also fair-minded and compassionate, and he always tries to see the humanity in his subjects.

Enemy of the People is a must-read for anyone who cares about free speech, political satire, or the future of American democracy. It's a funny, insightful, and ultimately inspiring book that will make you think, laugh, and maybe even change your mind.
