I usually post analytical, long-running thoughts. This is not that. This is fun!
If we acknowledge the obvious fact that Trump will be added to Mount Rushmore, then we should consider further: there will be an additional mount. Mount #2. For the few media figures that have stood up and became our vocal, brave media "fathers."
So... Rush, Tucker, Bannon, and.... who? Lara?
Let me know who you think should be on Mount #2.
Plus, could one of you AI savvy folks, have a rendering of Mount #2 created?
:-)
I didn't say you underestimate his admirability. I said you underestimate how broadly admired he is.
And you underestimate how truly reviled he is by a certain percentage of this country.
Oh, he's reviled. But the certain percentage is small. Not trivial. But small.
I hope and believe that you are correct. But I do believe that percentage is large enough that we can't simply write them all off as lost. At some point there must be reconciliation and healing.
I've not mentioned writing anyone off as lost.
But, to not cunt about on all of this, let's ask a direct question: was Lincoln carved on that mount, despite presiding over a Civil War and a considerable portion of the nation resisting him?
You know the answer. And you know Trump's appearance on that mount is inevitable. And you know Lincoln's appearance was, at the time, much more unlikely.
i think Trump should be sculpted with a double scoop in hand! Let's not cunt about.
