    There’s a great book called Dark Money. It doesn’t get into CNP (I don’t recall it, at least), but it goes into a lot of the GOP megadonors and their shady shit. Probably dated by now, I’m sure shit has changed over the past 7 or 8 years

      That looks pretty good. I’m a big fan of the Behind the Bastards podcast, and now that I’m commuting again I’ve also started listening to their It Could Happen Here one as well and it’s amazing how many of these groups exist from the local level on up. They feel like conspiracy theories until you start following legitimate reporting about them. It’s not Pizza Gate level crap, this has all been documented for decades. I like learning about it, but damn is it depressing when you see how the world works.
