I’m starting to give legitimate consideration to the question, “Are they trying to lose?”
I know, “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence”, but… Come on! At what point is it no longer an “adequate explanation”?!
Nah. Then they’d just be embarrassed they had been pushing a book with such a woke lefty agenda. Some might even learn that they can throw away most of that commie stuff in the later parts of the book, and just keep the juicy bits they liked in the first half about how men are in charge, and slavery is okay so long as you follows some rules. Oh, except Revelations. That part rocks, let’s keep that. In fact… Let’s make it happen. That would be so sick.
