Why?
Might as well use his techniques against him.
Let’s force them to deal with it.
I like the truth too, but at this point, normal behavior is just not working.

Want proof Trump is a freak?
This is a picture he took with his daughter.
I’d recommend the physical book.
The author does some nice tricks with the typography that you’d miss with the audio version.

Lovely fiction about the vilest cop in the world, partially narrated by his tapeworm.
People always had private property.
Back in pre-agriculture days, humans would sit around every night by the fire and interact with the rest of the tribe. That’s what we spent 99% of human history doing. Farming isolated us from the tribe and put every family in their own house. Then the Industrial Age gave the family distractions like newspapers, radios, and movies. Currently we’ve got a phone to distract us all the time.

Don’t get me started…
Too late…
‘The Harlem Shuffle’ by Colson Whitehead.
‘Red Harvest’ by Dashiell Hammett.
‘The Secret Place’ by Tana French…
Save yourself, it’s too late for me…
Enjoy.

Great graphic novel, “High Crimes.” A disgraced Olympic snowboarder now works as a corpse retriever on Mt. Everest. She and her partner charge $50,000.00 for the return of the dear departed.

Did a quick search. The LBJ Library charges around $16.00 per adult visitor.
Trump is going to build his Library in Las Vegas, give it slots and a shooting range and charge the faithful ten times what any other Presidential Library charges.
Hell, he’ll give Stormy Daniels her own wing and run X-rated movies on an Imax screen.

Great novel, “Stand On Zanzibar.” John Brunner. Written in 1969 and set in the early 21st Century.
Half the book is basic third person narration, but the rest is a mix of commercials, product reviews, legal papers, opinion pieces, TV transcripts, etc etc.

I personally like to try things out before I buy. What one person loves may be wrong for someone else.
That’s my take.

“The Whore Of Mensa” A private eye goes up against a escort service that provides lonely men with intellectual conversations.

The Stonewall Riots occurred in 1969. Star Trek’s controversial interracial kiss was a big scandal a few years before. The movie “The Legend of Nxxxxr Charlie” was shown and advertised all over the country. The movie “Midnight Cowboy” got an X-rating with zero nudity and one off screen man on man blowjob.
Sorry, I think you’ve got it backwards.
otoh, people in both eras used gas powered cars, telephones, telegraphs, and manual typewriters. They could both go to movies, ride trains, and take ocean voyages.
A person from 1903 would need a few days to adapt themselves to 1969 technology.
But someone from 1969 coming into 2025 would be lost. Most people in 1969 didn’t use credit cards, and had never seen an ATM. They used rotary phones and antenna TV.
The 'Lost In Space" reboot was amazing. They took everything that was dumb in the original show and made it smart. Then they took the one really good thing [Dr. Smith] and made them fantastic.
