Would those partial to the nation-state as a medium of social control have agreed to participate in this fatal distraction? I can see how those who pull Trump's strings would be in favour of it, knowing that their man's strength lies in fear management -- his ability to channel frustration and anger and deploy it against those committed to that anti-dictatorial experiment known as Democracy.
Has it worked? If the idea was to distract us from issues concerning gender, race and labour relations, I would say it has only added to it, thus creating an even greater distraction from the longer term goal of smart phone enslavement, the ball and chain that keeps on giving, taking; a medium that will soon become as visually undetectable as this virus once it is embedded inside us, activated by three clicks of the tongue or, if we're feeling nostalgic, a Carol Burnett ear tug.
