Marycat2021, when you read "A Fever . . ." you'll see that the conclusion about MAGA being today's KKK is inescapable, right down to the white, Anglo Saxon Protestantism. DeSantis, a white Catholic, has sneaked into the group. Who could have ever imagined that such a shallow, empty, self-aggrandizing, serial lying congenital malignant narcissist such as Donald Trump could get even one vote, to say nothing about tens of millions. It is a great insult on the American populace and may point to the detrimental effects of religion on critical thinking abilities.
Richard, re: “It is a great insult on the American populace and may point to the detrimental effects of religion on critical thinking abilities.” I would add watching the short series on Prime, Happy Shining People, is a real eye opener for the far right evangelical movement that has and continues to be strong on the religious brainwashing of America.
It's interesting how irrational and clueless we can be. I have two daughters, both extremely well educated (MBA and J.D.) The older one (41) has one dgtr (3 yrs 8 mos) while the younger one (39) has no children. I think that they looked ahead 30 - 40 years and decided that it may not be the thing to bring new humans into this world. I can relate to that.
I totally agree! This is an amazing book! However, you may have trouble sleeping after reading! There are things in this book that I would never have imagined in a million years. It is so sickening...and we are currently living in it with these MAGAs!
True, and the search for a new "D.C. Stephenson" by Rupert Murdoch is on-going. He is apparently dumping DeSantis. @Advocacy reports just now: Rupert Murdoch set to bail on Ron DeSantis, reportedly eyeing new puppet to fight Trump
The Fox News founder has reportedly soured on the real-life Disney villain's floundering presidential campaign and has privately told people his new campaign crush is Virginia Gov. Greg Youngkin. Different right-wing fearmonger, same book-banning, queer-shaming, race-baiting bullshit.

I will check into it, Chris. "Happy Shining People." Makes me think of "the Stepford Wives."
Yes and the Handmaiden’s Tale.

Detrimental effects of worshipping false Gods like money and power. Trading one addiction for another to avoid brutal reality in a dog eat dog world
