Things that went whizzing by that I want to remember... Yes, Republican politicians say in private. Trump is dangerous to our democracy and unstable. But it would be limiting to our careers for us to do anything but enthusiastically support him. And he is rapidly losing his grip—very soon he will be gone, so why should we do anything other than enthusiastically support him? And, in any event, the Democrats will block him from doing anything really bad. That is what they all think, and do. All but Liz Cheney:
So elected Republicans are afraid of their mob (base), so clearly they are not leaders. The question is, who is leading the mob? Fox? Kochs? We don't know, do we?
It is being led by an odd combination of Trump, fascists, plutocrats, plutocrat-fascists, and journalists in it for the LULZ so they can sell fearful glued eyeballs to advertisers. Very weird indeed...
Also, totally depressing how greased the skids are to fascism by, for example, mentally unstable narcissists. No evil geniuses here, like in the movies or comic books. Just self absorbed idiots all the way down.
Shaihu Umar shows up in a normal Amazon search in paperback, 1994 edition. Is that what you're looking for?
The next three copies are $10, $30, & $45. I am going to have to scan & excerpt, I think, if I use it...
...$20 from he publisher...
I'm also seeing 2016 at Amazon, no indication of any limitations, just "in stock". Markus Wiener. $14 hardcover, $2.53 paper.

Yep. I would say psychopaths—people who will inflict enormous misery on others for just a little bit more money...
