Maybe Freddy vs Jason
Hollywood has conditioned us to believe that if there’s a bad guy in the story the other must be a good guy. But often real world conflicts are contests between bad guys. It’s an Alien vs Predator world. The reason the cynical media hates the idea of Christianity is it’s absurd belief that somewhere, someplace …

The erosion of trust
One of the reasons why ABC’s suppression of the Epstein story has had such surprising impact, at a time when Deplorables should have been jaded by media scandal, is because it mocks the pose of virtue it constantly strikes. A congregation may forgive sin in their shepherd but not blatant hypocrisy. The two political sides …

I like the scene where Charlton Heston rides up the beach and reads the inscription on the ruined Statue of Liberty and shouts “Epstein didn’t kill himself. Epstein didn’t kill himself.”
When did socialism become a bad word?
Democrats should be horrified that socialism has become a bad word, even if the voters are not yet ready for it. Progress is all about grooming. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/warrens-climb-in-the-polls-should-horrify-democrats/2019/11/04/429f4032-ff4d-11e9-9518-1e76abc088b6_story.html#click=https://t.co/ivFantALof
Everyone once knew what the future was
Not just Lincoln Steffens. Even ordinary conservatives used ro believe they were fighting a rear guard action against Progress. Suddenly the vision of the 20th century catastrophically collapsed but what is it we see? The progressive future, like a Hillary candidacy, is more impressive in the buildup than the arrival.
Earth needs you
Polls show Hillary beating Trump without even trying. It’s fascinating to consider whether she’s a bigger threat to Trump or the Democratic left, like one of those armored giants from the dawn of time released from an icy prison to menace the puny endeavors of men. https://www.newsweek.com/hillary-clinton-beat-trump-2020-poll-warren-biden-sanders-1469570?amp=1&fbclid=IwAR3Y55GIYNmscha7EkzeKK5FgO6N_LV3DpJXe9hnBRoJHazDEUkXJ4pHsuA&__twitter_impression=true

Part of the Restoration will be reinstating old media
Mark Zuckerberg “should pay a price” for what he is doing to democracy, Hillary Clinton has said, as she expressed doubts about whether free and fair elections were even possible in the wake of Facebook’s decision to not factcheck political advertising. https://amp.theguardian.com/technology/2019/nov/04/hillary-clinton-mark-zuckerberg-pay-price-damage-democracy

The peasant revolt
Warren, like Trump, is a “populist”. What have the elites done to deserve this? This means that apart from Biden there is no champion for the Restoration, unless Hillary comes back in. Politics is now firmly in the post-something era. “Change has come to America” and the Left searches for its continuation. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/04/us/politics/elizabeth-warren-wall-street.html#click=https://t.co/kEe2CReAXu
“Change has come to America”
But not exactly in the way Obama thought. He was on one Arc of History but history was on a different trajectory. Average politicians think they can control the future. The slightly more talented simply seek to understand and survive it. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=6181477

Don’t be so grim
Obama expressed particular frustration with young people on college campuses who think the best way to enact change is “to be as judgmental as possible about other people.” https://reason.com/2019/10/30/barack-obama-woke-scolds-campus-activism/?amp&__twitter_impression=true
