Thoughts about Woodward's book on Trump?
| Its sources really seem questionable at best. It feels like people are making an abject aura around Trump, whether through praising or making fun of him. We'll only really see the effects of his administration a few years later and likely every fuckup and successful work done on his part.
The book seems like it's there only to sell moreso than offering good content. Wait for some political or social experts to do a full analysis on his administration.
| Anti-Trump: "Very accurate. Full of truth Impeach."
Pro-Trump: "Not accurate at all. Total character assassination. 4 more years."
(I assume it's negative.)
| i feel like these books are made just to make money, and less about any sort of political statement.
| Most US-americans don't know how books work. It's a mid- and upperclass thing. At least some books also give economically poor writers a chance to benefit from the wealthy.
More important than these kind of books itself are the sources they refer to. In the case of Trump I don't need any other sources but his official statements and his biography to understand that he's nothing but a giant douchebag who's reproducing mass stupidity.
| Books are important for the nuances & perspectives they make you aware of. My impression of Fear is that it's a blunt reiteration of the most popular anti-Trump perspective in the nation. Liberal media leap on it for affirmation, but it doesn't contribute anything of substance (not to say right wingers would be above it). I suspect it's motivated by opportunistic greed & a desire for relevance from a man who sees the late Nixon era as the now distant pinnacle of his career.

Liberal Media and Trump stand in a tight relation to each other. Liberal politics also stand in a tight relation to the extreme right. A liberal society build on a liberal economy won't work for long. Fascism is the tip on the iceberg of capitalism and not it's antagonist, even if some fascists believe it.

I mean yeah, if your idea of liberal politics is just what you've seen on Tumblr and in radical feminist groups. Antifa aren't the ones elected in the Democrats part of Congress...
