Bryan, I totally agree with you. I am reading Project 2025 in a Democrats Abroad bookclub. I have read the Forward and 10 chapters, am starting on an 11th one. We are skipping around. I have to balance this bad prose and nastiness with some books too. I really appreciated Prof Ruth Ben-Ghiat's book Strongmen which I recently read, for its insights and history of fascism.

As a PAID subscriber, I have reading weekly preview chapters of Dr. Bandy X. Lee's new book, "The Psychology of Trump Contagion: An Existential Threat .... I just received and will read her "Epilogue" in the book later this morning.
Dr. Lee's forensic psychiatrist group has been directly involved in a campaign regarding DJT's 9/18/24 sentencing on the 34 jury determined felonies & the Defendant's ten (10) contempt convictions already decided by the Court as violations of the Court's Protective Order (PTO) to protect jurors & witnesses.

Sounds interesting.
Yes, quite interesting.
On Trump's repeated Motion to Dismiss, Judge Merchan will rule that one again on 9/16/24. Spoiler Alert: DENIED.
Trump's sentencing still set for 9/18/24.
I'm reading STRONGMEN right now and am a paid subscriber to Prof. Ben-Ghiat's LUCID Substack. Highly recommended, both of them.
And Timothy Snyder has a new book coming out in Sept. Also read Autocracy, Inc by Anne Applebaum.
