This is a strange and frustrating book。 The tone is a little uneven - sometimes it seems to be very much appealing to younger readers （not in a YA sense， but in the slang employed， and Very Online terminology on occasion）。 This trivialized some of what Miller was trying to say， and often the best and most insightful content feels secondary。It is a combination of a number of things， including:"How did we embrace Trump？！ I feel terrible that my party embraced him。""I am really awesome at my job！ B This is a strange and frustrating book。 The tone is a little uneven - sometimes it seems to be very much appealing to younger readers （not in a YA sense， but in the slang employed， and Very Online terminology on occasion）。 This trivialized some of what Miller was trying to say， and often the best and most insightful content feels secondary。It is a combination of a number of things， including:"How did we embrace Trump？！ I feel terrible that my party embraced him。""I am really awesome at my job！ But now I guess I feel bad about that。。。？""Politics is a game， and damn I am an awesome player。 But now I guess I feel bad about that。。。？"Plus some good， original reporting on those who either did or did not embrace the New GOP。So， a typical Never Trumper Republican post-2016 memoir/book。 There are some good observations （some are not necessarily original， but it's useful to be coming from a "respected GOP operative"）。Another book by a Republican operative who woke up and realized they were a large part of the problem， and now they'd like us to know they're sorry。It's great that they've realized what they have done to the country， but it's also really irritating that it took them this long to realize that the criticism directed at them was 100% accurate。I think the best book in this sub-genre remains "It Was All a Lie" by Stuart Stevens。 。。。more
