Jon Stewart had a good way of framing the campaign and current presidency. He deemed it a Trojan horse. Trump actually had a lot of correct diagnoses:
1. Government is stagnant and overspending 2. People aren’t listened to or adequately represented 3. We have deviated from a meritocracy.
Those are all correct. People resonated with that. Then they invited the Trojan horse behind the closed walls. Now the loyal soldiers and jumping out of it burning the city down…but, unlike the Greeks, they’re saying that they’re there to help us. And some of us still buy it.
