Don’t believe Trump lives in a world where “truth” and “lie” has no meaning. He doesn’t lie to deceive. If that was his goal his lies would be more carefully crafted. He lies as a demonstration of power and test of obedience. He is absolutely saying things that no one believes are true, just to make his toadies nod along, just to ensure no one yet feels brave enough to question his pronouncements.
If none are willing to contradict his statements, none will hesitate to carry out his orders.
Wow that writing is a spot on Rod Serling impression.
Oh man, that text sounded like him as I read it nice
my man, rod serling spittin’ fire with every syllable.
His failed attempts to bring the Emmett Till tragedy to television forced him to get creative
from his wikipedia entry:
He was known as the “angry young man” of Hollywood, clashing with television executives and sponsors over a wide range of issues, including censorship, racism, and war.
Serling’s combat experience affected him deeply and influenced much of his writing. It left him with nightmares and flashbacks for the rest of his life.[4] He said, “I was bitter about everything and at loose ends when I got out of the service. I think I turned to writing to get it off my chest.”
Thanks for the article. Sterling’s ability to touch on all the important topics through his writing was amazing.
Just praying for that inevitable and just poetic twist
Patton Oswalt had an interesting take on Presidents and media.
He said that when John Kennedy was President it was all James Bond and the Rat Pack; really cool guys doing cool guy stuff.
When Obama was President you had a lot of superhero movies; the lone hero coming in to fix everything.
With Trump you had the multiverse; everything is a lie and nothing means naything.
A good find.
Not that this would ever happen, but I want to see MAGA supporters waking up one morning as if awaking from a drunken stupor and realize what a shit human being Trump is.
Unfortunately, a significant portion do know and do not care
This is great.
It really is
