I’m gonna change the subject drastically with you because I enjoy your posts on the Walking Dead threads, and a Walking Dead analogy to the GOP primary has been percolating in my head for a few days.
To me, Trump is like Rick whereas Cruz is like Deanna.
Trump has been in and succeeded in the wilds of our brutal decadent culture without really succumbing to it. He has managed to thrive in it despite fighting PC, islamic terrorism, and illegal immigration.
Whereas Cruz has been sheltered in Texas, DC, and in law firms, largely seperate from that outside culture.
As Talking Dead fans, we all get exasperated with Deanna’s inability to work effectively against that outside culture and avoiding whatever it takes to subdue it. I get that same exasperation with Cruz and the brutal fight that confronts us.
It’s why we cheer Rick and Trump because they can operate and win within their ugly environments without closing their humanity.
losing, not closing.
LOL
I just showed your post to my husband. He read it, said, “Good God, FR has gone nuts”, and walked away, shaking his head.
