Attack From Within & This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me

And I'm not saying that it gave me a lot of like, I don't know if I learned a lot of brand new information, but it kind of defined some information that I feel like we all probably know a little bit about.

So this book definitely focuses on the Trump presidency, obviously.

Like that's, I mean, let's just say misinformation is like the hallmark of his presidency.

I mean, that's...

That's literally what's happening right now.

So it kind of like goes through that in a very detailed way where it describes more terminology and kind of what to look for.

Because I think the goal of the book, I believe, is to kind of give you at least some understanding of what you should be looking for so that you at least can make informed decisions for yourself, right? Because they obviously manipulate you.

I mean, politicians all manipulate us in different ways, but obviously Trump and his Republican side kind of has it to his science at this point.

I also think that the internet has made us lazy when it comes to fact checking.

And like the news used to be legit, but now it's like, maybe I'll get into that.

Honestly, you're hitting right on the head for like at least part of this book because we'll talk about this a little later, but technology has really evolved in a way and has not been regulated as other medias in a way that keeps it within framework.

And it's very easy to manipulate people using it.

So the book does kind of start with January 6th and how that in itself should be enough information for all of us to believe that this man is probably not right for the country.

I mean...

If you objectively lose and immediately call it fake, is that really positive? I don't think so.

I mean, I certainly thought that should disqualify him from running the country.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Because it really should.

I don't know.

Like, if you can't, like, it's a part of like a good chunk of this book is kind of cut into about three parts.

So the first part kind of explains what authoritarianism is, kind of what Trump does and how he does it.

I mean, he's not the only focus, but he's just our current focus right now.
