I don’t need a review. I have read the book. There was no allegation by Hemingway (or by me) of “massive” voter fraud Afaik. I have, numerous times, pointed out that fraud is a useless metric in a US presidential election, since you can never have a defective election overturned due to fraud (it is impossible to prove a massive fraud in the US in two months). It is a false metric. There was cheating. There was rigging. There was corruption. But it was all without consequence, as the election was stolen and here we are, with the worst president in America's history the most destructive, already. A year in. President Trump won the election. We had enough ballot defects in every swing state that Trump won if the process were fair. It isn’t. The question today is whether we are willing to allow the democracy to die peaceably. We already know Democrats will, as it is what you want, which is the reason every one of you endorsed the cheating. We can blame it on ignorance or stupidity or just not caring. But the reality is the takedown is permanent if we allow it to persist. We’ve had war time and again because we were trying to “fix” a political system here or there. But we have stood idly by as Democrats have brought our own democracy down. The thing I hate is that today's 30- and 40-somethings don’t find it worth fighting for.
