The Heir finally got around to watching the Mary Trump videos, but he still doesn't believe that based on Ms. Trump's plugs, the book is necessarily going to tell anyone anything they didn't already know. We already have tell-all books about Donald Trump, going back to the first Michael Wolff back in 2017 or so, through to John Bolton, including James Clapper, Andrew McCabe and James Comey. The one thing the Heir takes issue with in Ms. Trump's plugs is the promulgation that the country isn't good to holding people accountable. That's not to say that the Heir disagrees, but that he seems to be the only citizen anywhere in the country who has an explanation as to why that is. And that's because our culture doesn't believe in accountability to being with. The Heir beseeches us to look at the 2010s with big tech and Ed Snowden, and forced obsolescence and personal corruption, and those things still continue to this very day. So Mary Trump can only speak to her uncle in the context of her family, not in the context of society at large. So with her and a number of people on visual, the Heir recommends that we take what they say with a grain of salt. Because when you have both Mary Trump, and unfortunately Steve Schmidt making a doomsday conditional that the American Experiment could be over, no-one should believe that's inevitably the case because some people said that. The Heir remembers that in The Last Meaningful Election Ever in 2004 that people said the same thing. That if Bush got reelected, the country was done for. As it turns out it wasn't, because in Bush's second term it was the people who took matters into their own hands, rather than solely rely on the institutions they feel failed them. The Heir thinks it's interesting how on the one hand we contend that democracy relies on institutions when criticizing dictatorships around the world, yet we knee-cap our own when we don't get the exact result we want. The Heir also thinks it's biased and cynical for people as influenced by the progressive movement to overlook the fact that Bush failed to get a third term, and the Heir absolutely *does not* think that's only because of term limits. The election of Obama was a referendum on Bush, but the progressives had this arbitrary deadline that said that such a referendum should have taken place in 2004, and that it was totally meaningless in 2008, and and a result the progressives retaliated against Obama by tearing down Obamacare, getting with Ed Snowden, forming the Anonymous hacking group, and playing down the Sony Hack as a real threat from North Korea. Those are the sins the Heir remembers to bring up, and that's not even counting Lieberman-Lamont as depriving the Donkeys For The People a real chance in the Senate in 2006. The Heir perceives that the progressives will want to downplay their own sins as the Heir somehow wallowing in the past. But the Heir isn't "wallowing in the past." Instead, the Heir is reflecting on history.
