Theory Recommendation Request - A lot of liberals/Dems in my life are facing crises of political consciousness watching the police collaborate with the protestors to attack "a sacred symbol of American democracy." This is a fantastic chance to move them left, but I'm hesitant to recommend anything that's too heavy.
What are some good entry-level works that are accessible to people that think the West Wing and Jon Ossoff are unironically good? Keep in mind things like S&R are disqualified because Lenin is pretty stigmatized in their brains. Need something more vanilla/unknown.
I’m not gonna ask any other lib to bother reading a book Rn but I always feel like citations needed is a great starting place for libs because you have to develop a heuristic for criticism of the media to be left wing in the face of the propaganda deluge everyone in America is immersed in. That plus the generally NPR esque tone and predictable structure make it very easy listening for people whose hate is not pure yet.

I recommend Citations Needed to people constantly. You're exactly right that it marries a leftist spirit with an NPR tone. I've brought my partner around on it, working on others frequently.
It’s actually a great show it’s just too predictable for me at this point but I’ve learned a lot listening to them.
