Trump's legacy: A more divided America, a more unsettled world
#5
(03-12-2021, 10:26 AM)Bob Butler 54 Wrote: I see Trump as an example of how not to do it.  It is traditional to precede the grey champion with a bad leader who represents the old values very poorly, and thus contrasts with the grey champion and makes it a bit clearer that something new should be tried.  George III, Buchanan, and Hoover are the other three US representatives of the old values, with Bush 43 as an honorable mention.

Trump did it so extremely to be in a class by himself.

Trump isn't so much old values as he is an exemplar of 3T fads that get swept aside in a 4T. Much of what gets blown away is from the most recent 3T.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
