I worked at a major chain bookstore during nearly the entire Trump administration and books about “Russian collusion” and “Russian spies” and “Russian chaos agents” with sinister covers (often featuring a lot of red and/or a hammer and sickle) written by Keith Olbermann types about the big brave Americans fighting to rout Trump’s army of Putinistas came out what felt like weekly.
Like yes Amogus Sus funny but it would seriously melt your brain if you counted just how many books like this there were. And not just “non-fiction” but also the resurgence of quasi-Cold War espionage novels about tactful American gentlemen spy-hunting.
the red scare really never ended
