It's not about the book, it's about the thought.
As I pointed out already, I've been doing that for years. Which party is pushing voter suppression tactics and laws, both federally and in many states? Which party's Senate Majority Leader refused to even have a confirmation hearing for a SCOTUS nominee under a Democratic President? Which party is renowned for its gerrymandered Congressional Districts? Which party's President (along with a whole bunch of Congressional reps and Senators) went as far as inciting a riot/insurrection/coup to try to overturn a democratic election? And which party's former prez is STILL asserting that the election was 'stolen'? (It wasn't, btw)
Which ignores all the crap Republicans have pulled since the Jan 6 coup attempt... Since you are ignoring the news, here's some relevant history:

For an OP, you haven't really addressed the book.
There is a vague reference to the Republicans destroying democracy and that America will be run by psychopaths. So what exactly is in the book that says that? Quote it if you feel like. Or just explain why the Republicans are going to ruin democracy if you want to do it that way.
But actually provide some context. Because where I am sitting, the Republican SCOTUS rejected the Republican candidates appeal that the election was rigged, that the few idiots that entered the Capitol hadn't a clue what to do next and are heading to jail, the Republicans disowned them and condemned their actions, the Army didn't align to Trump in any way shape or form and Trump left office when Biden was swore in anyway. Those aren't actions of a party rejecting democracy. Those are actions that the legal framework works and even a sore loser won't enact a coup despite his ponzi.
