Hey, hey *no spoilers*, but all kidding aside: Hector is the only hero in this story, dies fighting a doomed fight for his country that he did everything he could to prevent (and has a meaningful love for his family), while all the other men are really flawed antiheroes.

Anyway, this is the actual book I am reading. Picked it up in a local bookstore last week, before Musk’s “recommendation”!

The People will blame Trump for their hunger, illness, and lack of basic services. He enjoys the suffering too much. But, they will also know Democrats won't fight to save them.

(1) Economy was actually doing well under Biden, and his statistics were not lies. Trump is pointing to lies (2) Biden did things that helped the economy, while Trump raised taxes on working families with tariffs, and fought to end basic subsidies.
NYT both-siding is DELIBERATE DISINFORMATION.

3) Democratic states should ignore (and fight) Trump orders to hurt their own people. We will start seeing a very serious divide in government services & social safety in Democratic & Republicans states. This will really affect quality of life in Republican states. Going to be very dangerous there.

US federal government used to get overqualified people to work for less money, because of a mix of civic pride & stability. Musk & Trump & their crowd of sycophants have destroyed that: from Doge to Shutdown this year has been hellish for anyone left or considering joining. We will lose so much.
