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.

Not really. Some elaboration is in order.

And while I have some great stories of Latin conversations with a Ukrainian prostitute in Prague, this forum may be better conducted with more English and less pretentiousness.

DeSantis bad Putin bad. Confirmation bias feels good.

This might be interesting if true "they aren't for people to read and be entertained, they are there to launder campaign money"

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)
