I think we are finding people from across the ideological spectrum realizing they were pissed about the same things, but divided by the propaganda so the elites used to justify it, which of course was the intention.
The smoke is lifting. Trump, by speaking obvious, important, and necessary truths has lifted the curtain and exposed the corruption and deceit at the heart of BOTH parties.
BTW: Camille the Pirate is back: http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/10/the-woman-is-a-disaster-camille-paglia-on-hillary-clinton/
Seemingly too independent for Salon, she landed in Limey-land.
Paglia says she has absolutely no idea how the election will go: ‘But people want change and they’re sick of the establishment — so you get this great popular surge, like you had one as well… This idea that Trump represents such a threat to western civilisation — it’s often predicted about presidents and nothing ever happens — yet if Trump wins it will be an amazing moment of change because it would destroy the power structure of the Republican party, the power structure of the Democratic party and destroy the power of the media. It would be an incredible release of energy… at a moment of international tension and crisis.’
All of a sudden, the professor seems excited. Perhaps, like all radicals in pursuit of the truth, Paglia is still hoping the revolution will come.
I cannot resist adding, they are speaking of Trump as both a Fuck You, AND an orgasm. As Michael Moore said, it will feel good. I probably shouldn’t have gone there, but think of all things all of us long to be able to say, the things that make life fun, spontaneous, REAL. It is like we are being pushed into a gray, hopeless world where, as in a Wrinkle in Time, there is a time for play, but nobody remembers what is is or how it feels.
