Taking readers on an irresistible adventure through some of the most colourful, outrageous and polarising events of recent years – from Brexit to the Capitol Hill Riots and QAnon rallies to Extinction Rebellion protests – Phoenix Andrews shows how if we want to understand what’s really happening behind the headlines we need to think about one overlooked phenomenon: fandom.

I Heart Politics is a surprising response to the zeitgeist and a brilliant illustration of how, when it comes to many of the most important and polarising issues of our time, we’re much less rational creatures than we’d like to believe.
