Front Matter

~~~
“The system held, but just barely.” (— Jonathan Lemire, The Associated Press)
~~~
The bane of humankind is the malignant lie, employed by the malevolent liar for depraved self-interest, in politics and families. The ability to initiate and sustain the lie takes no special talent nor intellect, only the capacity to abandon personal integrity and character.

When good people try to correct the mendacity, the liar gets angry and vindictive. So the question is, in politics and families: Roll over in silent acquiescence or stand up for truth and take the hit?
~~~
Dedicated to Norma, this man’s best friend — Not a literal saint but not too far off.

Please Make This Author Happy

I hope you get as much of a kick out of reading this book as I did writing it. I’d be forever appreciative if you would post a review on Amazon. Just a sentence or two and a rating would be great. Reviews are lifeblood for authors and they help readers find my books. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PW7LD9F)

Thanks a lot,

The Series

This is the first in my subseries comprising the three books:

All three books listed above are carve-outs from my exhaustive 1,400-page history:

This book, Trumpism: Why Traditional Republicans Should Withdraw Support [2017-2021: A Primer], serves as an introduction to the other books in the subseries, all drawn from the perspective of a long-time avid political observer. Think of the histories as an in-depth every-Thursday recap of all the news you were too busy to consume because you had a life and didn’t realize the gravity of the dysfunction and disinformation. When you see my opinion you’ll know it. Much more often, when you see facts, quotations, and details, I’m assuring you that I’ve backed up their accuracy with careful research and citation.
