In "DotLand: The Politics of America," a mythical "DotLand" is used by the author as a literary mirror for America and her current political turmoil and polarization. PR Professional C. L. Buchanan compares the core party policies of DotLand's BlueDots (Democrats) and RedDots (Republicans), giving us his insights on the politics of persuasion and their consequences, and new American graphics artist Mauro Semeda's whimsical graphics effectively uses color to subtly illustrate the shifting perspectives of Dots from RedDots to BlueDots through the spectrum from Red through Violets and Purples to Blues, with the color's saturation cleverly registering the passion of each Dots beliefs.Buchanan begins with an explanation of the origins of our political differences as immigrants, then compares the two parties' core policies and their consequences for society, suggesting what a government should provide for its citizens, and ends each policy by prompting the reader to make their choice, Red or Blue. The author does share some opinions about policy consequences, but many would probably agree his explanations are only honest ones from an informed professional.From there, "DotLand" continues with Buchanan's explanation about how conservative media's race for ratings, while successfully attracting the party faithful by using misinformation that might appeal to their beliefs and prejudices, has further polarized DotLand and America. He continues with the evolution of this process onto the internet further radicalizing the discussion. "DotLand" closes with a call for students to study hard, becoming become better educated and more informed in order to be better able to make wise choices in the voting booth leading to better leaders being elected, ensuring a better future for their America. The author further encourages them to be especially focused on subject areas like math, all the sciences, statistics, along with history and civics as well, so they will be better educated and more informed when their time comes to step into the voting booth, and also make it more difficult for media to mislead them because they will be better able to recognize the deceptive media practices they use to increase their audience share.
