I don't know where to begin with this. Like the last one, it's just a white pat on the back fantasizing about the deaths of bigots. Which is fine, but what are you doing in real life? Are you also donating to charities and mutual aid? Calling representatives? Etc. 

But that's not the book. The book is what it is. Like I said, an alternative history fanfiction where everyone gets the comeuppance they deserve!!! Whatever.
