Pitchfork Time
Sep. 27th, 2016 12:20 pmTrump is heading up a peasants' revolt. The people waving torches and pitchforks aren't going to be worried whether what he says makes sense or accords with what he said yesterday. What they're following is the noise he makes.
Hillary represents everything the peasants are revolting against. I can't see her saying anything to make them cast aside the pitchforks.
A vote for Hillary is a vote for business as usual. A vote for Trump is a vote for God only knows what. But this is a revolutionary moment in western politics- and electorates everywhere are wondering whether God only knows what isn't the more attractive option.

Date: 2016-09-27 04:12 pm (UTC)A friend wrote to me last night "I get really, really sad when they say I'm not Danish"... She was born here, her mother is Danish - but her father came from India and her skin is brown. She can make pastries that would make my grandmother bow her head in shame, she can correct MY grammar - and I'm quite a stickler for grammar - and she is basically just as Danish as bacon! (She doesn't eat beef, though. Perhaps that will be the next citizen test? Eating your way through an entire farmyard of animals?)
