New Book From Fox News' Kat Timpf Suggests Surprising Things Can Happen When You Don't Choose a Team

Jeff Walker,  Entertainment Writer

Fresh off the success of her 2023 NYT best selling book 'You Can't Joke About That: Why Everything Is Funny, Nothing Is Sacred, and We're All in This Together', Fox News contributor Kat Timpf returns with a companion piece, offering up the age old adage, 'don't judge a book by its cover'. 

In her latest release 'I Used To Like You Until... (How Binary Thinking Divides Us)' Timpf explores the social stigma surrounding narrow-mindedness. Although by definition binary involves two things, Timpf asserts that by focusing on one over the other, people see things simply in black and white essentially developing tunnel vision.

Covering 188 pages 'I Used To Like You Until...' draws mostly on Timpf's own experiences during her near decade career at Fox. Much like outward appearances; sound bites, social media posts, and work places don't define a persons outlook or overall character.

Furthermore Timpf suggests affiliations with a particular political party doesn't necessarily mean democrats or republicans can't find common ground or do what's unheard of, and that is become friends. When strangers use news cycles and political allegiance to beat each other down, Timpf admits they often fail to get to know the person they are having a conversation with. Just look at the hallowed halls of congress.

Timpf says too many differences stem from politics and the PC (politically correct) generation. While we share the same planet, we differ on so many issues. Everything has become so partisan. People view you differently when you say I voted for so and so. Sticks and stones can break my bones, but your words can never hurt me. Too many people hide behind the mask of social media.

Timpf's own encounters have lead her to an epiphany. She admits she's had to dine on a few slices of humble pie over the years, misjudging her hedge fund husband early on in their dating relationship, as well as forming an opinion of a tattooed lesbian waiting in line to meet her at an event. For shame!

A smart and sassy driven woman, Timpf is a card carrying libertarian, and is unafraid to fly a banner for the party who advocates for the expansion of individual autonomy and political freedom. In a throwback era it would be easy to imagine Timpf going to a high-rise window at Fox and screaming 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore' (nod to Howard Beale in Network circa 1976).

Timpf's overall message in her new book, when you fixate on a single stand and lose sight because of it, you end up following the pied piper, which in turn allows for bigger blowhards to speak for you. You should never let that happen. Think outside the box.

As she's done in the past, in 'I Used To Like You Until...' Timpf touches on several hot button topics. From over taxation to useless wars, from the he/she PC world to lets talk religion, and from 'biological sex to sex assigned at birth', nothing is off limits including taking friendly advice from drag queens. 

Suppose Kat is at a party, and surprisingly no one there knows she works at Fox. Should she deflect any potential negative conversations by telling fellow guests she's an adult film worker, rather than a well respected libertarian columnist and best selling author. Read chapter one and find out.

While she's not alone, Timpf is free to opine her views on any subject on Fox News. The right leaning, mostly conservative network invites opposing views which is evident on 'Outnumbered', 'The Five' and Greg Gutfeld's primetime show where Timpf is in her comedic free speech element. Kat Timpf is bold, opinionated, and unapologetic. Read her new book with an open mind! For more visit her website at https://www.therealkattimpf.com/
