The Second Coming Finale: Trump4Ever.

Marx informs us all too well in his ‘Eighteenth Brumaire’ things can happen again; things do recur, and people, or their caricatures at least, do reappear, and it often augurs dark when they do (1). And Trump 2.0 would seem to fit that dark premonition perfectly.

And it was the return of Biden’s genocidal insanity to Pennsylvania Avenue that in a not insignificant way helped to usher in the return of Trump, and what might be called the more open, honest face of America imperialistic tyranny.
