@bcdreyer.social OK, I am officially embarrassed. Having recently subscribed to your substack, I decided I needed the book. Then this happened.
I don't remember what prompted me to do this six years ago. Now I have to look for it, because I really want to go through it (again?).

Jeff Bezos's WaPo editorial board has endorsed Pam Bondi as a "qualified" and "serious" pick for US AG. Nowhere ... did they mention that she's a former Amazon lobbyist. Billionaire control of our media is a threat to democracy.
My sub to WaPo is canceled (effective in 4 months :-( ).

Especially the paragraph about "Christo-nationalists", "for spewing such ignorant venom in the name of Jesus Christ that Christ returned to his empty tomb, just so he could roll over in it."

From a story by AlterNet reporter Carl Gibson "Trump has [exploited a 'folksy outsider' label] on multiple occasions – like donning an apron and working the drive-thru window at a McDonalds restaurant."

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief
Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.
