Opening paragraphs from a story on Unherd:
The Donald Trump Monster Movie by Michael Lind
In Hollywood sci-fi movies from the Fifties, there is often a moment when the US military drops an atomic bomb on a monster. It then invariably emerges from the radioactive cloud unscathed — to the disappointment and horror of those looking on.
Today, something like that disappointment and horror can be found in the response of America’s political establishment to the as-yet unstoppable Donald Trump. His Democratic enemies have deployed two impeachments and multiple lawsuits, some more frivolous than others, but they have proven as ineffective in stopping his return as the A-bomb was in halting the Martian invaders in The War of the Worlds (1953).
It goes on for a bit. He offers a bit of insight into national politics, but right now everything is up in the air so it's all just speculation.
I get the impression that a lot of folks wrongly feel the Federal Government rarely touches their day to day life.
ReplyDeleteSo Federal Elections don’t really matter, no matter who gets elected nothing changes, and just vote the party as a chance to piss off the “other guys”.
