Not at all. Capitalism at work.

Just pointing out that activism pays big...... if you are a Democrat.

It also pays big if you’re a Republican.

Especially a Republican who claims that he's really president and gets you to donate to that cause.

Isn’t capitalism the GOP mantra? I still don’t understand why OP’s knickers are in a twist.

NP. I don’t think anyone’s knickers are in a twist. But you can’t deny that Democrats have invited extra scrutiny due to their outrage over exactly the same thing - when a Republican is involved. That’s why Sen. Whitehouse was raked over the coals. It’s called HYPOCRISY. And it will 100% continue to be called out.

I’m not sure how it’s hypocritical for a Democrat to make money? Can you explain?

DP.
Someone above laid it out, really.
She was writing books under a pseudonym. Not much success with sales.
She becomes an activist on the left, changes to her real name, and sales sky rocket.
She is taking advantage of her role as an activist. She was a nobody until she became the fake GA governor.

So…she should have taken her books out of circulation? Is that what you're saying? How bizarre.

No. Why did she use a pseudonym to begin with? That all changed after her failed gov. race that she can't admit she lost.
Figured she could cash in on her new activist role.

I feel like this Pp is Exhibit A of our education system’s failure to equip people with critical thinking skills.

Lots of authors have written books under pseudonyms and the romance genre is probably one of those where they do. And lots of times this becomes known after the authors become known as themselves. I'd say 100,000+ copies for 8 romance novels 20 years ago was a decent result.

And why do authors use pseudonyms for romance novels? Because the genre is so ridiculously embarrassing that they want to stay anonymous. For good reason.

All the time I spend on the real estate and home improvement forum here in DCUM, one or two homes currently valued or bought in the last 5 years totaling $1.4 million is MC or UMC.

Maybe the real title of this for Fox news fans is "Irritating Black Woman who is tied to voter fraud scandals and recently broke has the nerve to own not one but two home worth $1.4M:

Article should really read:
Probably stolen from charitable work she does since she doesn't really work for a living. Let's investigate or assume she's doing all this voter fraud work to get rich. Where else could she have gotten the money from?

Who does she think she is? And based on the price, why did she move into a white neighborhood instead of with the people she says she's trying to help?

Yea, Black woman buys two homes worth more than $1M and might now be upper middle class. What did she do to get there?

She’s childless and unmarried i.e. no heirs, so what does “generational wealth” have to do with anything?

Excerpts from the article:

The former state lawmaker bought her first townhome in DeKalb County for $246,300 in 2004 and purchased a second home in the area in 2019 for $370,000 that is now valued at $409,400.

Fast-forward to October 2020, just days before the presidential election. Abrams simultaneously sold the home she bought in 2004 for $400,000 and bought a new second home for $975,000.

The home Abrams purchased in October of last year is now valued at $1,003,934.

I don’t know why OP thinks this is a big deal.

She has siblings and nieces/nephews.

Good to know you were asleep this election cycle - please sure to stay that oblivious in 2024.

Abrams flipped Georgia blue for the first time in over 30 years. GA won the Presidency and the Senate.

So Stacy Abrams identified a need and developed a business to help solve that need AND she plays her taxes.

I fail to see the issue here.
