This account by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa about the lead-up to the 2020 U.S. presidential election and its hideous aftermath was surprisingly packed with detailed accounts of policy and not just gossip, thus far outstripping Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury of 2018 in relevance. It is clear that no one in Trump's camp, possibly excluding a couple of lunatics, ever believed any of the false claims about a stolen election. It is also clear that no one in this camp had even the smallest amount of human decency required to publicly state this truth. The main problem is that the liars who are playing politics convince 70 million dupes to believe their lies. That population then becomes the predicate for hanging on to the lies and imperiling self-rule itself.
