Just beneath the crust that is society, a cataclysmic event has been triggered.
For decades, the tectonic plates of our cultural order - red for oligarchy, blue for democracy - have been grinding, colliding, and heaving. The stratigraphy has not remained intact.
Donald J Trump was simply the earthquake that resulted from years upon years of subsurface undermining; perhaps an earthquake more akin to the one central to Ken Follet's novel, "The Hammer of Eden". Nonetheless, tsunamis follow earthquakes depending upon the location of seismic disturbance.
In the sea of our society, that upheaval came at the confluence of many cultural and economic currents. What we see now, what Thom so clearly demonstrates, what we are sensing - is an impending tsunami.
Old Glory's colors may not run, as they say, but they have faded into a pale dusty chaulk that - at the slightest disturbance - falls from the canvas, exposing a blank white sheet as our national rune. And apt this may be as the flag of our rallying:
White - for the absence of morality, humanity, and conviction.
White - for the monsters desiring a homeland exclusively for the 'master race'.
White - for surrender to authoritarianism via oligarchy.
