Dummies for Dummies

The title of a completed manuscript that is dividing both literary agents and editors, because they have yet to find any common ground whether or not publishing such an apparently condescending or insulting book would be suitable for public consumption.
“Dummies for Dummies” seems to fall under the Humor section, or it may not, because it’s up to everyone’s imagination who’s the target audience for this title: MAGA cult patriots, white Taliban terrorists, or Antifa thugs, or all three?

DeSantis v. Disney

When a Pharisee-turned-politician, who is notorious for his “woke math” gospel in attracting “holy votes” among patriots and puritans in his red-pilled state, has been embarrassingly outwitted by an entertainment giant, and now wants to take revenge by threatening to impose taxes on its hotels and roads that lead to the theme park.

Disney saga, it looks like the loser, who even had the time to write a MAGA-like book while in office, is running short of shady ideas how to fight his legal and political battles, especially when his previous über-corrupt and lying boss is leading in the latest polls despite his simultaneous jail-prone trials.
