It's not enough to be right, these days—especially when you're not left.

In How to Be Right: the Art of Being Persuasively Correct, Gutfeld reveals the strategies that have helped him keep a steady job for almost three decades. From “Discard Your Outrage” and “Outcompassion Them” To “Find the Right’s Obama” and “Use your Mom,” Gutfeld gives readers the tools they’ll need to argue, influence, and convince their friends, family and foes throughout the 2016 election cycle.

If you’re against global warming, you want old people to freeze to death. Which sucks because old people are great! And definitely better unfrozen. 4. I would ban coal, but I fear my white privilege is making me hate something only because it’s black. Example One: Fracking So, back to Joe: I pull him gently over to my side by telling him
will become less truthful or more truthful the more you claw. Every day I figure out something about life that I didn’t know before. It blows my mind, until the next day, when I uncover something else that makes that certainty slightly less certain. (For instance, yesterday I was sure Spider-Man could beat Daredevil. Today I’m racked with doubt.) There are obvious truths: when you see a plane hit a building, and that building falls—the only people questioning that are assholes. A WALLET-SIZED
alienates them. No lie, it’s the greatest book ever written, by a guy currently typing in his underwear. In a Starbucks. 1 WHY WE’RE EVIL HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR CONSERVATIVE STANCE, WHEN YOU’RE INEVITABLY ATTACKED This is the chapter you should read now. Especially if you’ve read the preceding sixteen pages.
