Notes on Chapter 02
This is probably a little campy, but Caroline explaining things to Jackie offers me to explain things to the reader. The question, then, is this. Does the reader buy the explanation?
My guess is that for most Democrats, they would have no problem with the explanation whatsoever. For those who still support Trump, in contrast, they would find the argument bogus. There were no crimes - by Trump and thus no crimes by Congress. The audience that remains a mystery to me is the so-called no-longer Trumpers. Their situation is taken up some in Chapter 11, but it takes a while to get there. In the meantime, how do they regard the argument? I'm quite sure they want all of this to go away, like trying to forget a bad dream. But denying reality is not a good option. This won't go away. How they come down on the argument is critical in determining whether The Minute women can reach their goal.
It may very well be that the specifics of the next three chapters matter not much at all for readers who are Democrats - they are convinced of the argument already, but matter a lot for the no-longer Trumpers. I would be good to read those chapters to see if you can wear that hat and then whether you find what is said persuasive.
