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).

Kyle Mann is the editor in chief of The Babylon Bee. He was created in an orc-spawning pit beneath the tower Orthanc near the end of the Third Age. Saruman the Many-Colored drew upon all his dark powers to imbue Kyle with the ability to write satire of semi-acceptable quality from time to time, and also pillage many small villages in Gondor. Kyle oversees and approves all content posted to the site and writes a good bit of it himself. Joel Berry is The Babylon Bee’s managing editor and a deadly warrior-monk with a shadowy past. Part philosophy-quoting homeschool nerd, part Marine Corps veteran, Joel was found retired in a secluded cabin in the mountains after he swore off his old life and promised to never own a lib again. But Kyle Mann was getting a team together. He convinced Joel to come out of retirement for one final mission: to help run the world’s greatest satire site, which he’s been doing since 2016.
