‘Unstoppable force’
‘Born out of the darkness in our hearts…’
by Mike Allen
I‘ve seen quite a few articles this week on social media and other news outlets asking the question, “What gave rise to Donald Trump?” or “Who created Donald Trump?”
Of course, the finger has been pointed in all directions — sometimes looking back decades — and even the political satire/entertainment mixed television shows have been blamed.
I get a good laugh from it, mostly due to the language describing the situation sounding like something out of a comic book or a fantasy movie. It’s like Trump is an unstoppable force — the living, breathing manifestation of all our wrong-doings, born out of the darkness in our hearts. Now, two sides that were once former foes must unite to stop him!
Usually in these plots, the “good guys” prevail. I’m not sure how this (now) very real-world scenario will play out, but it will no doubt be interesting to see the measures the parties will take.
