Please don’t buy the book from Amazon. Find a local bookseller who could no doubt use the business. Bezos backs Nazis.

Republican voters grow up in lies with liars/criminals, that’s why they’ve always sucked and spread lies - ie: post birth abortions, “trickle down” economics, etc 🙄 they are menaces to our society

I don’t buy anything from Jeff… I assume I can get this book at a proper, independent bookstore?

theresavermont.bsky.social•28 days ago

Absolutely not from Amazon

seedyem.bsky.social•28 days ago

Preferably not purchased from Amazon. Support your locally owned bookstore.

I read a Harvard Business Review study that concluded you can get 65% of the population to believe anything as long as you include a statistic.

Hmmm, on Amazon, really? No, won't be pre-ordering it.

Not buying anything on Amazon, ever

briannaubert.bsky.social•28 days ago

I will no longer shop at Amazon. Good luck with your book.

Interesting.

Do I have to order it from Trump's Oligarchy? Seems to be at odds with the contents of the book.

Not buying anything from AMAZON anymore. Shall I tell you why or you can guess.

hansolo3239.bsky.social•28 days ago

Allow me to indicated you another book, much older than this. The Art of Controversy, by Arthur Schoppenhauer. During his public arguing with Hegel using weekly newspaper op-eds he shows how you can easily twist a conversation in your favor even if you are totally wrong

pacbigmansoft.bsky.social•28 days ago

I strongly suggest you americans to arrest Trump as soon as possible for your country, for your children and for you.

There is no fulfillment in view with this monster.

If he stay there, it's a 100 % failure.

This guy is there only to be free of jail, remember. He had no choice to run for potus.

betsysingleton.bsky.social•28 days ago

“Motivated reasoning” is a huge problem in addressing climate change, which has become polarizing. Sadly.

slackingpro.bsky.social•28 days ago

Try not to use Amazon unless there's no alternative. Bezos doesn't deserve our money. I only keep my account for the "need it" situations.

trump-is-a-virus.bsky.social•28 days ago

Stop buying books from Amazon.

jessicajones2024.bsky.social•28 days ago

I’ll get the book from my local library…not from Amazon

forthedefense.bsky.social•29 days ago

Just pre-ordered!

gretelvo.bsky.social•28 days ago

Order in from your local bookstore. Don’t support that union-busting asshole billionaire bezos. 1700 Amazon workers in Quebec no longer have jobs because they tried to unionize to earn a liveable wage.

mkwasnik.bsky.social•28 days ago

Seems appropriate that in the link, the name of a U.S. media oligarch’s company precedes the title.

deborah-e.bsky.social•28 days ago

When people understand WHY the maggots cheerfully repeat lies in pursuit of raw power, something will have been accomplished.

Truth interests only Americans, not maggots. They KNOW they're lying, and they laugh while Americans chase a red herring.

tileman.bsky.social•28 days ago

But maybe get it from your local independent bookstore or library, because clearly, Jeff Bezos has 'bent the knee' and/or signaled that he's only in it for himself; not for the common good.

samanthah0rizon.bsky.social•28 days ago

A lie spreads 8x faster than the truth

badgergiff.bsky.social•28 days ago

Surprised Amazon allows it to be sold.

freddyvt.bsky.social•28 days ago

Looks good. Get it from your local bookstore instead of Bezo's destructive toxic machinery.

mariaspags.bsky.social•28 days ago

Don't you see how it works....get it on "AMAZON"....GIVE ME A BREAK 😩

klynne735.bsky.social•28 days ago

Amazon is useful for information about books. Just because someone grabs a screenshot from there doesn't mean they shop there. When I buy books, I get the description, a sample, and reader comments from Amazon. Then I buy it from the publisher if it's a small press, or from Kobo.

flabbytabby.bsky.social•28 days ago

I guess it stuck out, because I unenrolled from Amazon yesterday.

joaquinmurrietta.bsky.social•28 days ago

Racist hate is the reason for his win. Trump took the most base of all human emotions - FEAR - and manipulated his uneducated base with hateful lies. Racist fear is driven by hate. Spending millions lying about Black immigrants eating cats sure scared the bejeezus out of those inbred buffoons.
