"FOR ME, TRUMP'S RISE HAS ALSO PROMPTED AN INTERNAL KIND OF CHALLENGE. IT HAS MADE ME DETERMINED TO KILL MY INNER TRUMP. HOW ABOUT YOU? IS THERE ANYTHING JUST A LITTLE BIT TRUMPISH WORTH EXAMINING? MAYBE IT IS THE PART WHOSE ATTENTION SPAN IS COMPACTED INTO 140 CHARACTERS, AND THAT IS PRONE TO CONFUSING FOLLOWERS WITH FRIENDS. MAYBE IT IS THE PART THAT LEARNS TO SEE OURSELVES AS BRANDS IN THE MARKETPLACE... COMPETING FOR SCARCE MARKET-SHARE."; "OR MAYBE IT IS THAT PART OF YOU HOPING THAT A BILLIONAIRE
WILL RIDE IN TO SAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?
THIS ONE WILL BE KIND AND GENEROUS AND CONCERNED
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LITTLE GIRLS.
THE LIBERAL SAVIOR BILLIONAIRE MYTH
MAY APPEAR VERY FAR FROM TRUMP, BUT THE FANTASY
STILL EQUATES GREAT WEALTH WITH SUPER HERO POWERS,
WHICH IS JUST A LITTLE TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
TO HIS MAJESTY OF MAR-A-LAGO."
