Political Theater 101

 

So the same people who have been telling us ad nauseam for at least the past four years that Donald Trump represents an existential threat to American democracy are now professing to be perplexed why anyone would want to assassinate him. Moreover, they rushed to wish him a speedy recovery.

This should be as clear an indication as anyone needs that Caitlin Johnstone has been right all along.

Inevitably, when supposedly responsible adults play this kind of deceptive game, someone who is young and impressionable will take them at their word--and people get hurt.

U.S. politics are all spectacle. Behind the curtain, pulling the strings, is the military-industrial-complex.
