"Perhaps the least attractive thing about the administration"

is that it isn't content with collecting the public's taxes; or with just governing. It wants to be in charge of our collective dreams;
as if there were a deep, almost unhealthy desire to control the narrative, so that by controlling belief it could control the waking world. This takes the form of a constant attack on the national myths. It doesn't know how to govern, but it knows how to campaign. Whether the issue is guns, marriage, abortion, culture, religion or the actual factuality of events, the administration is tireless in its efforts to explain what we should think; to accompany us in our dreams. Almost as indefatigable as Freddy Kruger. Belmont Club サ See You In My Dreams
