Well, not exactly. Was looking at new releases at audible, and found the latest from Bill O'Reilly: The United States of Trump: How the President Really Sees America.
I didn't even bother to read the description. (There was another pro-Trump book also just released.) In any case, in keeping with o'reilly's previous tomes, I think this should have been titled: Trump: Killing America.
BTW, it's crap like this that convinces me that we really are living in two different countries. There are those of us who live in the reality-based universe and there are those who see the exact same actions and craft a completed 100% diametrically opposite meaning. It really is the like the Bizarro Superman comics from my childhood (which, if I recall, was just after the invention of movable type). It's even beyond Orwellian.

"BTW, it's crap like this that convinces me that we really are living in two different countries."
This Is the reason I read these books. If we choose to ignore the texts theses people are reading, and choose to ignore the news they are watching, then we deserve to be blindsided by a competing reality that we dont understand. KNOW YOUR ENEMY
I have been saying for 3 years that there are 2 realities. Not just two versions of the same thing with a slightly left or right slant to it, but two opposite realities.
I suggest to everyone reading this to swallow that bad taste and try to see what make these people tick. As annoying or gross as this orange man is, watch him and listen. Then watch faux or BB news and compare the stories to what our news is telling us. Its f@cking scary.
Ive spent hours watching senate judiciary hearings only to watch hours more of the coverage of the event from both sides with my mouth on the floor. This isnt going to end the way people are hopping it will.

(7,997 posts)I have/had a close friend who surprised me by supporting trump. She'd voted for Obama, and I was shocked that she would make such a switch. I've talked to her about it only a couple of times, but she is in a totally different world as far as what's going on. I'm seeing the effects of brainwashing in real-time with her.

(32,599 posts)Dozens (if not hundreds) of MAGAt ChumpHumpers have already give the book 4 stars. They haven't bought it, and they have no intention of reading it. They just want the Repuke books (written by conservatives like Bill O'Reilly) to have high ratings, even though the reviews are fake, it doesn't matter to them.
So when I have extra time (which I don't right now) I go onto Amazon where those Repuke books are listed and I file complaints against the fake reviews. I just say something like "This person didn't purchase or read the book, and their review is politically motivated." When complaints are filed against the fake reviews (not against the book itself), then Amazon goes in and deletes the fake reviews.
