“I Used to Like You Until…,” by Kat Timpf, is a whip-smart follow-up to her “ruthlessly honest” You Can’t Joke About That, Kat Timpf, New York Times bestselling author and Fox News commentator, is back to take on a new menace: binary thinking. In a world where complex issues are squashed into “pick-a-side” soundbites, Timpf exposes the lazy logic behind it all, showing how this simplistic mindset is clogging up our political discourse, our institutions, and even our personal relationships.

As a libertarian who’s spent a decade at Fox News, Kat’s seen her fair share of eyebrow raises for refusing to wear a team jersey. She knows what happens when you don’t pick sides, and the surprising clarity (and chaos) it can bring. “The problem with picking sides,” she writes, “is that once you do, the thinking’s already been done for you.”

Packed with wit, irreverence, and laugh-out-loud stories from her life in the public eye, Timpf challenges readers to ditch the either-or mentality and embrace the messy middle ground. Thoughtful conversations, freedom of thought, and even a little empathy, she argues, might just be the cure for our hyper-polarized society. Kat’s advice? Question assumptions, challenge the narrative, and only hate people when they truly deserve it.
