The New Conservative Books Are Angry. But Why Are They So Boring?

I read 10 of the conservative publisher's books and found them tired, backward-looking, and, well, very boring.

DeSantis bad Putin bad. Confirmation bias feels good.

Of course. All political books are contracted through a ghost writer and are the traditional means to launder kickbacks.
Along with exhorbitant speaking fees. (Every politician, ever)
And the purchase of unrecognized genius artwork. (Hunter Biden)
