The Trump re-election campaign thus acknowledges that it is actually a death cult. Furthermore, it is counting on the inherent stupidity and blind loyalty of its fundamentally white supremacist base to offer their lives and safety so that a fat fascist moron will feel good about himself and not have to cower in some dark corner afraid that divine retribution or Vladimir Putin might call him out.
I remember a day back in High School when the regular teacher was absent and the substitute used the hour to read a Poe classic to the normally boisterous class.
First, the substitute was a graying, middle-aged gent who might be mistaken for the wrestling coach; however, he was a French teacher and spoke with a willowy lisp. He was precious, in a Percy Dovetonsils way. But he was also a great story-teller and that day he held the class in thrall with Poe’s The Masque of the Red Death.
In this time of Covid-19 we all have plenty of time and hopefully that means lots more reading: books, books, books.
