Beverly was always a self insert (like most trek characters) for professional STEM types, in this case the career doctor who loves romance novels.

I think the scariest thing is that it isn't a disinformation campaign. Disinformation and propaganda are part of partisan politics (for instance, Republicans still think Joe Biden wanted to defend the police and Democrats still think there's a pee tape). Just stating true facts is enough to get people arguing.
If we would just accept facts we didn't like, a lot of these foreign actors would have a lot less power.
Michael Hudson calls it out fairly regularly.
The first book was a Roald Dahl ripoff, and I enjoyed it for that. Everything was downhill from there.
