Trump’s ‘Liberate Michigan!’ tweets incite insurrection. That’s illegal. | Federal law bans advocating the overthrow of government.

I'm curious, how is it useful? Did it aid in getting him removed from office? Has it swayed public opinion to where his approval numbers have tanked? Maybe it suggested he was witholding foreign aid from a nascent ally in exchange for dirt on a political opponent. Did it alert the country to the fact that the administration was ignoring crucial warnings of foreign interference in the upcoming elections, or the fact that he had disbanded the team responsible for fighting a possible pandemic and that our stockpile of emergency supplies had been neglected?

I apologise for the tone of my post, I don't mean this as an attack on you. I just have been annoyed ever since the initial OpEd in the NY Times appeared, the one.about "the adults in the room". Then this book by anonymous.

What type of ego do you have to have to think that somehow you can help stem the tide of this madman's decisions? When everyone even partially willing to stand up to him, to stand up for the Constitution and our system of checks and balances has either quit or been fired (by tweet, no less), what good did the author think this book would do?

His base has proven themselves intractable, they will vote for him regardless of what he does. The GOP will continue to support him because they're getting their dream agenda passed: Conservative judges, tax cuts for the wealthy, deregulation of a whole host of industries and a big jump forward down the road to dominionisim.

The person who wrote this book had to have known all of this and more. So what's their angle? Sorry but I'm just not buying whatever it is they think that they're selling, and I mean that both literally and figuratively.
