let’s talk about this book cover here, “The Courage to Be Free” by Ron DeSantis. First thing I notice is Ron himself, smiling like he just won a game of poker. He’s in front of the American flag. Very patriotic.
The title, “The Courage to Be Free,” sounds good. But why does he need courage? Did he lose a bet to write this book? And “Florida’s Blueprint for America’s Revival”? I always thought Florida was just for retirees and alligators, but apparently, it’s got the secret to fixing America.
Ron’s name is big and bold, and the background is presidential. Almost looks like a movie poster.
JABBIC Rating: ★★★★☆
Summary: Ron DeSantis’ cover for “The Courage to Be Free” has the essentials – patriotic flag, big smile, and a promise to save America with some Florida magic. Bold and confident, like a guy who’s sure he’s got the winning hand — except he doesn’t.
The Courage to be Free outlines DeSantis’s political philosophy and positions. DeSantis criticizes what he calls the “woke agenda”, “the elite”, and public health measures, including school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
