Already said but the Cato books. Maybe start with Master of the Senate. The early books of the Johnson series can lose readers if they aren’t into Texas history/LBJ, but Master of Senate is a revalation. The best book for understanding the process of the senate and how one seizes power in America.

The article ignores how the meaning of "socialism" has changed dramatically since Eugene Debs. Most of Deb's socialist proposals are modern norms, such as female suffrage, a 40-hour work week, no child labor, public housing, and progressive taxation. Also, Trump nationalizing companies is Debsian.

It's kind of hilarious that "triggering" appears on the list of words that trigger conservatives.
