It's not surprising that non-college grads who just want their jobs back voted for Duckie because if they
had gone to college and taken a European history course to study the white western civilization that people are so keen on preserving, they would already
know this play and know it's a
stinker. We'd be saying "Madam President will play the lead" instead of "Who should we get to play Himmler and Goebbels?" Because that's where we're headed. No press access, enemies lists, personal loyalty valued above everything including expertise, the rule of law thrown through a window like a brick. A terrified population, first the outliers but soon everyone will be "just following orders" in order to save their skin, their families and then people start wondering just what the price of a soul is and if the civilization they enabled is worth preserving because it feels like they ushered in hell. It starts like this, you people without a college degree who just want your old job back. Your job isn't coming back. You were snookered. Don't get me wrong, it's not exclusively your fault. There's plenty of blame to go around including the fact that the forces of goodness and light ran the wrong candidate forever forfeiting their right to call themselves the forces of goodness and light. But for god's sake, you've got to shake off 30 years of torpor. What made America great the first time is the same thing that's great about us now: we are endlessly inventive. Why are we now waiting for orders to follow?
