Are we all just singing to the choir?
I'm getting totally disgusted based on what I'm seeing and reading, and this morning's news item about Omarosa's book really hit it home.
Granted the book is probably going to be a form of "revenge porn." That's a given. It'll have a lot of juicy shit, but it will probably have some truth to it too, just to cover the publishers' ass. But who's going to read it? Certainly not your everyday conservative, and most certainly not your dedicated right-wingers: they'll consider the book an insult. We know some RW pundits will pick up on it and declare it a blasphemy, citing only what makes their point. History repeating itself.
So who's going to read the book? Probably mostly people who already agree that DJT is unhinged and will want some reinforcement or an excuse to get even angrier.
In my book, that's called singing to the choir. Sure it's a business proposition for both Omarosa and the publisher, both of whom expect to make money from it. And, of course, once someone buys it, it makes no difference whether they read it or not: the money already changed hands.
I see it here too: we're all basically in agreement that things suck, so we write about it for each other. We're the only ones who read it. And I have to believe that conservatives do it too: write stuff for each other because most of us don't read it.
Maybe I'm wrong or just disgusted, but, somehow, all this singing to the choir, on both sides, seems like just a waste of time.
