      It's all just templated garbage written by a state approved ghost writing company. Literally nothing of value in any American political writing.

          They actually just buy them all up immediately and distribute them to Goodwills and used bookstores.

          At least that's what all the Fox hosts do. The bestseller list is literally just based on orders for the book from the publisher, and Fox will spend millions to buy them all up and give them out for free to make sure that poor people are always seeing their fucking faces and might actually buy and read their reactionary garbage.
