#ThisIsWhatFascismLooksLike #RepublicansAreFascists

Political organizations, campaigns, and conservative advocacy groups mass-purchase right-wing books to artificially boost their sales numbers and land them on bestseller lists.
Key Groups and Entities Involved
• Republican Party Committees and Leadership PACs: Organizations such as the Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and political action committees have spent hundreds of thousands to over a million dollars buying bulk copies of books by high-profile figures.
• Conservative Advocacy and Special Interest Funds: Groups such as the Senate Conservatives Fund have purchased thousands of copies directly from publishers or major online retailers (such as Books-a-Million) to distribute as incentives or gifts to political donors.
• Politicians and Campaigns: Individual lawmakers and candidates (including figures like Donald Trump Jr., Josh Hawley, Tom Cruz, and others) have utilized campaign funds, donor contributions, or affiliated committees to purchase their own books. While some transactions occur directly with publishers (where authors typically do not collect personal royalties on self-purchased campaign inventory), others have used campaign money to buy books through online retailers to incentivize donor sign-ups.
How the Mechanism Works
• Bestseller List Manipulation: Bulk purchases trigger sharp spikes in tracked sales metrics, propelling titles onto lists like the New York Times Best Sellers or Wall Street Journal charts.
• The "Dagger" Symbol: The New York Times frequently places a dagger symbol (\(\dag \)) next to these titles to signal to readers that a portion of the sales came from bulk or institutional orders.
• Amplified Returns: Studies on publishing data show that landing a spot on a major bestseller list artificially inflates subsequent organic sales (by roughly 57% for debut or featured titles), elevates the author's media profile, and creates a false perception of widespread grassroots demand.

They must refuse to cooperate with anything that advances #Project2025 goals. Then pass legislation to undo all the harm this regime has caused. They must also hold hearings to determine all the wrongdoings and who's been culpable. Then trials. #RepublicansAreFascists

They are all fascists. Vote them out this November.

I don't watch basketball, but I do know an Atlanta Hawk from an Iowa Hawkeye, and neither has anything to do with a dirtbag... Typical GOP clownishness and bafoonish behavior.

Repugnicans are really something. Many things, actually: traitors, liars, cheats... But this is really astounding, even for them. And, no, I don't expect #DirtbagSchmitt to admit he was wrong or to ever apologize. #RepublicansAreFascists

They might want to consider voting against the party that works overtime to keep them poor and uneducated? #RepublicansAreFascists #ComplacencyDestroysFreedom

...people in the southern U.S. had the highest regional rates; the poorest Americans had the highest rates compared to other wealth groups; and people in rural areas had higher rates than those living in large and medium-sized cities.

“Perhaps the Merrick Garland Justice Dept could have learned a thing or two about following the law."

"Let that be a lesson to the next Democratic administration. You gain nothing by going easy on criminals.”
