Quotes by Amanda Carpenter (?)

“Eventually, Winston breaks. He concedes that, yes, two plus two does equal five. Why? Spoiler alert: The benefit of embracing the lie ultimately outweighs the sacrifice required to cling to the truth. Sometimes, more often than we’d like to admit, lies are easier to believe than the truth. Especially in politics.”

“A lot of people will tell you yes, winning cures all. I’m not one of them. Winning is great, but if it doesn’t bring real, positive change, it’s not worthwhile and most likely won’t last long, either. That’s proven true already. Trump’s victory hasn’t united the party; it’s corrupted it.”

“Like it or not, we’re all living in Trump’s world now. This is a book about what happens when a politician knows he can’t win by competing in everyone else’s reality, so he creates his own. When we watch Trump start spinning his next ridiculous narrative, we often misunderstand what he’s doing. We get his motives wrong and misinterpret the results. We want to think his crazy lies are his greatest weakness when they are, in fact, the source of his strength.”
