See Dick Throw a Hissy Fit: The Rise and Predictable Fall of U.S. Culture
By Dr. Lauran Star
America didn't break overnight-it threw a tantrum.
In See Dick Throw a Hissy Fit, Dr. Lauran Star delivers a fearless cultural autopsy of a nation caught between nostalgia and chaos. Through razor-sharp satire and uncompromising analysis, she resurrects Dick, Jane, and Sally-not as innocent childhood characters, but as modern archetypes of America's political theater and cultural meltdown.
Dick embodies grievance. Jane clings to the myths. Sally sees the whole mess coming-and calls it out.
This book dismantles the manufactured myths, weaponized nostalgia, and fragile identities that have dominated U.S. culture from the Civil Rights era to the Trump years. Dr. Star exposes how America perfected the art of the "hissy fit"-a cycle of outrage, denial, victimhood, and regression that has shaped policy, leadership, and the national psyche.
This is not polite commentary. It's a bold, satirical, deeply researched exploration of how cultural fragility became political strategy and how the nation's most powerful tantrums drove us into the modern era of polarization, disinformation, and performative patriotism.
Blending social psychology, historical insight, political critique, and dark humor, See Dick Throw a Hissy Fit reveals the predictable patterns behind America's cultural decline-and why the next chapter depends on whether we confront our tantrums or keep reenacting them.
A provocative must-read for anyone ready to understand how America unraveled-and what it will take to rebuild.

However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
