Bought by whom? Actual people or Super-PACs?
I find it not to wild to think everyone keeps talking about the book the next VP wrote that was publicized when it first came out and now people want to read it, but sure Pacs also could be buying it.
Books by politicians always have inflated sales, it's a (not so) backdoor way to influence them. This isn't a new thing. I'm not saying no one is buying it, just that it's a sort of meaningless statistic without more context.
The context I'm using it for is I don't think everyone hates JD Vance. I think most people know next to nothing about him. No one is going out to the polls to make sure he doesn't become the VP.
